PROFINET / PROFIBUS Vendors Worldwide
PROFINET and PROFIBUS are industrial communication standards developed and maintained by PROFIBUS and PROFINET International (PI), headquartered in Karlsruhe, Germany. PROFIBUS is a classic serial fieldbus protocol widely used in legacy and brownfield installations, while PROFINET is its Industrial Ethernet successor offering higher bandwidth, real-time capability, and IT integration. PROFINET is the most widely deployed industrial Ethernet protocol in Europe, accounting for 23% of newly installed nodes in 2024, according to HMS Networks. PROFIBUS remains dominant in existing installations. Both standards are used across discrete manufacturing, process automation, machine building, and infrastructure applications. Typical implementations involve PLC-to-device communication, safety communication via PROFIsafe, and drive integration via PROFIdrive.
