How far is the transmission distance for PROFINET?
One of the advantages of PROFINET is that it enables the creation of flexible network structures. The length, speed and topology depend on the network components you choose. For example, in the case of fiber optics, with integrated interfaces you can reach up to 300 m between devices. With external components, fiber optic distances of up to 26km are possible depending on the type of fiber being used. In an electrical network the maximum distance between any two devices is 100m.
