What this ASIC does on a PROFINET line
Siemens 6ES7195-0BH32-0XA0 is the ERTEC 200P Step 2 — the custom ASIC that brings real-time Ethernet to a PROFINET IO device. It packs a 100 Mbit/s Industrial Ethernet controller, an ARM processor running the protocol stack, a two-port switch with integrated PHY, and enough on-chip memory to offload the host controller. The step-2 revision is lead-free, supplied in tape-and-reel with 1000 units per package.
