PROFINET/PROFIsafe via Bluetooth
The PROFIBUS user organization has specified PROFIsafe for wireless transmission
paths. Positive concept assessments have also been obtained from the BGIA (Professional
Institute for Safety at Work) and TÜV (German Technical Inspectorate). The version of the
PROFIsafe profile (version 2.4) describes the marginal conditions for the functionally safe
transmission of data via WLAN and Bluetooth. In particular, security aspects for the config-

The FL BT EPA (MP) meets these requirements when it is operated in “4 / 6” or “8 / 9” oper-
