Hi all,
I'm new with PLCs so at the very beginning sorry if my questions will sound stupid.
I have a small project to do in school that involves S7-1200 Siemens PLC and we would like to implement communication through Profinet.
Unfortunately nobody has any experience with Profinet (our supervisor only worked with Profibus).
My question is do we need I/O and Profinet nodes as somebody pointed my that that is implemented in PLC controller already.
If we need any modules can anyone advise me any?
We will have 3 analogue inputs, 5 digital inputs and around 6 digital outputs.
Thanks in advance!
P.S. I realize that probably this is not enough info so feel free to ask.
