Industrial Networking

Our Industrial Networking knowledge is built on a solid foundation of plant floor control experiences. We bring control system engineering perspective to networking technology. CIM Software Corporation focuses on integrating plant floor control systems with plant information systems providing redundancy, monitoring, and performance. With Microsoft Certified Professionals, CIM Software Corporation's engineers have the skill necessary to configure, install, and troubleshoot network file/print servers, routers, and relational database application servers. We provide network engineering services and training designed specifically for the industrial marketplace.

Industrial Ethernet is meant for company-wide, high-availability network solutions. Industrial ETHERNET offers a wide range of transmission media such as copper, glass fibre or also "wireless"; data transmission rates range from 10 Mbit/s to 1 Gigabit/s. In this way process and manufacturing data is seamlessly integrated into higher-level data acquisition systems.

Hirschmann
The Hirschmann Rail family of Ethernet devices are designed specifically for industrial aplications, and as such are built to withstand environmental extremes. Elecromagnetic fields, corrosive fluids and gases, high levels of pollution and large variations in temperature or mechanical strain are simply not a problem. DIN rail mounting is standard, as are dual 24V d.c. power rails enabling redundancy configuration.

PROFINET
PROFINET is the innovative standard for implementing integrated automation solutions based on Industrial Ethernet. PROFINET IO is the second PROFINET function class after PROFINET CBA.
Whereas PROFINET-CBA supports component based automation, PROFINET IO supports the classical fieldbus communication using fast Ethernet technology as physical transmission medium.
Profinet supports real-time capable process communication as well as open communication via Ethernet TCP/IP. This means PROFINET distinguishes between three performance classes:

TCP/IP - Open Ethernet TCP/IP communication without real-time requirements (e.g. Web technology with cycle times up to 100 ms)
RT (Real-Time) - IO data exchange between programmable controllers with Real-Time quality (1 - 10 ms)
IRT (Isochronous Real-Time) - Isochronous real-time communication for synchronized IO data exchange (cycle time <1ms)
