Profibus with CompactRIO

[KERV]

Is it possible to use Profibus protocol on Compact Rio Hardware ?

Thanks

[Jochen]

What exactly do you need? Profibus slave or Profibus master?
A Profibus slave module is already available from Dataahead. If you need Profibus master functionality you should contact Comsoft. They are currently in the development process for a Profibus master/slave module and they should be able to give you a forecast when the module will be available.

Thanks for your answer,

I don't know if I need "Slave" or "marster", I have just to send a data to a PLC.

I don't speak German and the DATA AHEAD web site is only in German.

In this case the PLC is probably acting as master so a slave module should be ok. You still should verify this. If you want to contact Dataahead please email to info@dataahead.de.
