Hi.
We have 3 Siemens S7 connected together on a profibus network. We also have a Compactlogix PLC which requires data that is in the Siemens S7’s.
Prosoft make a stand alone gateway.
The Prosoft “ EtherNet/IP to PROFIBUS DP Slave Communication Module.
Part Number 4205-DFNT-PDPS “
looks like it can connect onto the Ethernet network and allow us to read and write data to the Siemens PLCs. My knowledge of Siemens and profibus is weak. Will one gateway allow us to talk to all 3 Siemens and are there any other pitfalls, traps etc.
Regards Alan Case
