Abstract
In complex industrial production processes it is necessary to introduce automation system with special consideration to process supervision. High number of automation devices in system will require great resources in quantity and speed of data transfer. The protocols such as Profibus or similar obviously will not satisfy all demands of these production processes since the high number of devices are used. The possibilities of combining standard methods of communication with industrial protocols are available by introducing the devices for supervision and eventually process management placed outside the industrial plant, such as engineers or plant manager offices, etc. One of the most popular such protocols are Profinet which uses Ethernet standard for industrial purposes, and is described in this paper.
