PROFINET is a set of fieldbus protocols which were introduced several years ago and are developed by the PROFIBUS Nutzerorganisation e.V. (PNO), see: <http://www.profibus.com>
All the PROFINET protocols are based on standard [Ethernet](/Ethernet).
There are two PROFINET "flavours" available, IO and CBA (which are independent of each other) and some related "helper" protocols.
-[PROFINET/MRP](/PROFINET/MRP): media redundancy protocol.
-[PROFINET/MRRT](/PROFINET/MRRT): media redundancy for [PROFINET/RT](/PROFINET/RT).
-[PROFINET/PTCP](/PROFINET/PTCP): precision time control protocol.
-[PROFINET/RT](/PROFINET/RT): real time data transfer.
-[PROFINET/IRT](/PROFINET/IRT) : isochronous real time data transfer
