Hi, is there a way to use the PLCnext Control as Profinet Device, where I can setup the In and Out variables individually, create a gsdml file and use it with other PLCs? Thanks
[quote]is there a way to use the PLCnext Control as Profinet Device[/quote]Yes, using the GSDML file on the Phoenix Contact website. [quote]… where I can setup the In and Out variables individually, create a gsdml file …[/quote]No, the current GSDML file has a fixed 512 bytes of I/O in each direction. The mapping between the Profinet device I/O and (for example) physical I/O attached to the device, will need to be done in custom code running on the device. If you want to use the device simply as a remote I/O station for a Profinet controller, then a Profinet Bus Coupler may be more suitable.
Thanks Martin!
