Altivar Process 900 simultaneous communication with profinet and modbus tcp

[JhimmyJMQT1]

Dear Experts,

I hope this message finds you well. I have a question regarding the Altivar Process 900 drive. Is it possible to establish communication with the drive simultaneously using both Profinet and Modbus TCP protocols?

I appreciate any information you can provide on this matter.

Yes this is possible and no problem. You could use Modbus TCP thorugh the internal Ethernet Ports, and also in parallel on the Profinet card. But you could only use one protocol at once to control the drive. But reading of values should be possible in parallel.
