I'd like to purchase an Ethernet to MPI interface, my requirements:
1. MPI communication rate comparable to CP5611/CP5512.
2. suitable for MPI and Profibus-DP profiles, working both with passive and active nodes (external power supply capability).
3. drivers for Step-7 programming software family (including WinCC, Protool, etc).
4. DLLs or libraries for interfacing custom-developed applications under Windows and possibly Linux.
The IBH Link S7++ looks like a good product, so here come my questions:
a) has anybody already tested the Link S7++ device and is willing to share his impressions?
b) can anybody suggest a comparable if not better product? Please point products that you have actually tested "on field".
While money is obviously a matter, I'm more interested in performances rather than small price differences.
Thank you
