PROFINET is 100% Ethernet

PROFINET is Ethernet As comparison: PROFIBUS

Ethernet is the established standard in the IT world for fast exchange of data (IEEE 802.3) One line to which all nodes are connected
PROFINET is always full duplex Performance directly dependent on
simultaneous communication in two directions Controller number of nodes
100 MBit/s Master
100 MBit/s

100 MBit/s full duplex

PROFINET is always "switched Ethernet“

Slaves

Switches connected into a line

Distribution of network load

Devices
can be influenced using topology

PROFINET completely uses all possibilities offered by Ethernet
