Communicating Festo to Siemens WinCC

[Scott-bc]

I have a Festo CPU model HC20-60-FST that has an Asi master card plugged into the backplane as well as an 10MB/sec Ethernet Controller P/N: PS1-CP14. I would like to communicate ethernet from this Festo ethernet card to a Siemens MP277 HMI ethernet port a configure the HMI using WinCC flexible. Because Siemens uses the bit swapping do I need to install a PLC or HMI driver to make this work? Any problems with communication here? Thoughts or suggestions ar always welcome.

There's no specific Festo communication driver (protocol) available in WinCC Flex. Maybe your Siemens or Festo rep can help you out with this one...

The best bet that it may work is if Festo can speak Modbus TCP.
