Automation Protocol Through Ethernet

Suppose I have a PLC (Only 1 Ethernet Port) which support Profinet, DNP3 (TCP IP), and Modbus TCP IP.

Can I get data using these protocols simultaneously through the Ethernet port of PLC?
 
Since these protocols have different TCP Ports assigned
1 Ethernet interface can handle all of them at the same time.<pre>

Don't know which PLC you have and if it can do this, but with most PLCs it would work fine. There's no fundamental Ethernet issue with it.
