Reg:Communication B/W Siemens PLC and Control Net Slave

[natcheappan]

Hi,

we have a new machine which is capable of communicating with the Control system through the Control net protocol. currently we use a siemens S7-400H plc. i want to communicate to the new machine with the same Siemens PLC. Do you have any suggestion on how we can communicate with the Siemens PLC and the new Control Net Protocol Capable machine. any of your suggestions is most welcome.

Regards
Nachi

Hello natcheappan;
Have a look at this Anybus gateway from HMS: Profibus-DP to Controlnet.
