PROFINET Side: → Operates as IO Controller (managing remote I/O, drives) or IO Device (connecting to PLCs like Siemens S7-1500). → TSN-Ready: Hardware support for IEEE 802.1AS-rev time synchronization.
ControlNet Side: → Functions as Adapter (slave to ControlLogix PLCs) or Scanner (master for ControlNet devices like Flex I/O). → Native CIP Routing: Transfers Produced/Consumed Tags without data mapping.
Hardware Excellence
Processing Power: → 64-bit ARM Cortex-A53 processor (1.2 GHz) for deterministic real-time performance.
