Micrologix 1400 and Profibus

Hello All,
My customer has an Siemens S7-200 PLC communicating to a MP337 touch-screen. I want a micrologix 1400 to communicate to the Siemens PLC via profibus, either by the S7-200 looking at the ML1400's I/O register, or by sending serial data from the ML1400. I assume I will need some kind of serial to profibus adapter.
To be honest, I am not that familiar with profibus.
Any suggestions how I should proceed?

Thanks,
alphav.....

Hi,

there are few gateways available like PROSOFT, ANYBUS, etc.

1) http://www.prosoft-technology.com/Products/Gateways

2) http://www.anybus.com/support/support.asp?PID=104&ProductType=Anybus%20Communicator

These are very easy to configure & works great.
