Dear Sirs,
I have a problem to be be solved if possible:
I have a remote station in which there is a Profibus DP network of some instruments: Pressure transmitters, flow transmitter, motorized valves, etc. This network connect to a Siemens S7-1500 PLC, located also in the same remote station. PLC is connected to a Ethernet network: connected to a industrial ethernet switch, as same as other ethernet devices: HMI, UPS, radios, etc, all of them at the same station.
There are several similar stations, each one with its own PLC, switches and radios, all of them connected in a major ethernet network. All ethernet devices has the same segment.
Now I'm connected to this network in ethernet using a maintenance PC and has a maintenance software for one of the Profibus equipment. This software connect to the Profibus DP equipment normally using a Profibus USB interface (https://industrial.softing.com/en/p...fibus-interface-with-usb-high-speed-port.html). In other words, it should be used locally at each station.
My question is if it is possible to connect to remote Profibus DP equipment, with the software described, using the Ethernet network from the remote maintenance PC?
Does it exist some kind of driver, gateway or routing software to connect the remote Profibus DP network using the ethernet IP address of the PLC the Profibus network is connected to?
Thank you in advance for your help,
Best regards,
Luis A. Cristobal V.
