We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Profinet",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Microcontroller reference designs ease evaluation from
Innovasic Semiconductor, which we summarised at the time by saying "Innovasic's reference designs and modules help fido1100 microcontroller users to perform rapid prototyping and performance evaluation".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release RTOSs to support further protocols from
Green Hills Software: "Green Hills delivers a wide range of royalty-free operating systems for Freescale's families of industrial-class microprocessors and microcontrollers".
In November 2007, we covered the news from Green Hills Software
concerning its Integrity for Industrial PowerQUICC
- take a look at SIL3-certified RTOS runs on Industrial PowerQUICC
which says: "Combined solution helps deliver safe, reliable, independent execution and containment of the networking and communications needs of end devices in harsh environments".
Take a look also at the news release from Altium, Unified design flow optimises FPGA-based computing,
as well as Patch cables adopt industrial specs from Harting,
and Kit speeds Profinet RT interface development from Ixxat.
