First, I'm more familiar with working with S7-300 PLCs that don't have a profinet port.
I'm being asked if PLCs with a Profinet port can be accessed from the normal company ethernet LAN to upload/download/monitor...., and if so, is there anything special required as far as hardware software in addition to the latest version of STEP 7.
These are not time critical applicatons. Sorry if this is a simple question, I've not worked with it and am not finding the information quickly.
