I have some Siemens PLC systems that use Profinet but for improving the temperature control we want to also be able to use Modbus TCP modules on the same ethernet interface and Profinet (which is actually ethernet, not?) cabling. So just add and connect the Modbus TCP slaves via the same ethernet cabling, add a modbus TCP interface in the PLC software and -go-.
Did you ever try that before, or must I install an extra ethernet interface for driving the modbus TCP in the PLC systems?
Thanks for your advice.
Best regards,
