Introduction
The ERTEC 200 is intended for the implementation of PROFINET devices with RT and IRT functionality. With its
integrated ARM946 processor and 2-port Ethernet switch with integrated PHYs and the option to connect an
external host processor system to a local bus interface, it meets all the requirements for implementing PROFINET
devices with integrated switch functionality.
1.1 Applications of the ERTEC 200
