PROFINET Stack Integration with Codewerk: We willl speak PROFINET for you.

Support of modern fieldbuses like PROFINET is becoming more and more essential in networked plants. To let your devices speak PROFINET, there are a few things to do:

• Evaluate existing PROFINET ASICs and stacks
• Adapt the stack to your (real-time) operating system
• Implement the interface to your application/host processor
• Implement the GSDML file(s)
• Run integration- and system-tests
• Certify your hard- and software at a PI registered laboratory

We can handle all these steps as a complete carefree package for you. You can rely on a secure and high-quality implementation – also thanks to our extensive Continuous Integration Framework for builds and tests during development.

What moves you:

As a chip manufacturer, how can you provide the expertise required for testing, integration, and certification of PROFINET – and reliably meet your customers’ time and budget requirements?

As a device manufacturer: How can you expertly integrate existing PROFINET-certified chips and start production on time?

What adds value for you:

With our help, you can return your focus to your core competencies. The Codewerk carefree package covers the entire process of evaluation and integration of an existing PROFINET stack for your chip, platform, and/or (real-time) operating system. The final step is the certification of hardware and software in a laboratory registered with the PI.

We master all of the PROFINET conformance classes, including Class C (IRT) and future Class D (PROFINET over TSN). We are using all official test tools like ART and SPIRTA to pre-test the integration. And it is possible to integrate individual PROFINET profiles like PROFIsafe, PROFIdrive, PROFIenergy, and PROFIprocess/PA.

What we do differently:

Many things! For example, we give you full freedom of choice between the Siemens PN (PROFINET) stack and the new PI community stack. Each prepares you for future tasks like PROFINET over TSN: The decision is based solely on your requirements. In the process itself, we rely on continuous integration and powerful, automated testing with the Embedded System Integration Check Framework (ESIC). Our goal is to maximize your security of function, time, and budget with our expertise in the field of industrial communication.
