When the IO point reaches over 200 in a power station, would the capacity of the switch limit network size?

200 IO points is no problem on a PROFINET network. One of the main advantages of PROFINET compared to PROFIBUS is that you can have more nodes on the network. Please note that any configuration with PROFIBUS can be realized with PROFINET, as far as the number of devices on the network is concerned. PROFINET uses switches as network components with full duplex communication functionality, so no collisions occur in a PROFINET network.
