TM241 as Profinet Controller

AlexSD · ‎2023-03-02

Hi everyone!

I was wondering if it is possible to configure a TM241 as Profinet Controller.

Since TM241 is configurable via CODESYS, Would it work if the CODESYS Profinet Controller Driver is added to the platform?

Thanks,

Long story short,

TM241 has not the availablitiy to use Profinet, and it is so far I knwo not planned to add such a feature. If a customer want to talk to the controller via Profinet I would expect he use a Siemens PLC. In that case he could use Modbus TCP in parallel to Profinet through the same connection. Modbus TCP is well integrated in TM241.

If you need nativ Profinet you need to use a third party gateway like the products which are available through Hilscher, Anybus....
