contents Principal binets are a discretization of curvature line parametrized surfaces defined on the vertices and faces of the square lattice $\Z^2$. They generalize the previously established discretizations given by circular nets, conical nets, and principal contact element nets. We show that principal binets constitute a discrete integrable system in the sense of multi-dimensional consistency. In particular, they generalize to higher-dimensional square lattices $\Z^N$. We also discuss relations to the notion of discrete orthogonal coordinate systems as previously established for discrete confocal quadrics.
