I have an application where I want to connect a Siemens S7 315-2DP to a motion controller that has an ASCII serial interface. I looked at the CP-341 communication module but it looks like that will force me to do all the string processing in the plc.
i have been looking at Profibus to serial gateways, specifically the MKS PFB366 and the HMS AnyBus Communicator. Does anyone have any experience with either of these?
I want to let the gateway handle the string processing for me. It looks like if I do that the PFB366 will only allow me to send and receive one data value. The AnyBus product looks like it allow me to send and receive many more values?
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Keith
