Profibus drivers for Linux

Thread Starter

Ferran Arumi

Hello to all,

I'm new to the list, but I've read a discussion in the list archives about the inexistence of profibus drivers for Linux (messages from '98 I think).

However I've searched PC profibus cards+drivers for Linux in the net, but I'm unable to find it.

Does anyone know some vendor who makes this PC cards+drivers (for Linux)?

Thanks in advance.

CTi/Applicom make Profibus cards and drivers/api which will run on Linux, have a look at http://www.cti.u-net.com or http://us.applicom-int.com.

Alternatively, M&R who make AutomationX have their own I/O cards, which should include a Profibus card. As AutomationX runs on Linux, I should imagine that they have a driver for the card, though I don't know if they sell it separately from automationX, http://www.automationx.com.

Also, try SST at http://www.sstech.on.ca. There are certainly Linux drivers for SST's DeviceNet card, (Linux Lab Project (LLP), URL available from the LinuxPLC site links page http://www.linuxplc.org).

Failing that search the applications and links available at http://www.linux.org.

At the risk of being overly commercial I would like to let Mr. Arumi know that Cogent Real Time
Systems has written a Linux driver for our (Synergetic/Hilscher) Profibus cards. The driver is described at www.cogent.ca

Thanks
