Does anyone know who (besides SST) makes interface cards for Allen-Bradley PLC5 and SLC500 processors to connect to ASi and ProfiBus networks?

Peperl & Fuchs makes an ASI to Devicenet adapter. You would have to add a 1746-SDN or 1771-SDN to your system. AB currently has a seven node devicenet demo disk for free and the newer processors allow you to use the passthru feature to get on the devicenet network.
