Hi Andreas,

let me also jump into the discussion here.

We will probably not support ProfiBus in PLC4X.

In contrast to ProfiNet, which is ethernet-based, ProfiBus requires dedicated 
hardware for which dedicated drivers are needed.
This would mean that we would need to implement a transport layer for every 
supported hardware device.

Yes, the whole idea of PLC4X is to support as much as possible.

 The limitation are ressources:
- Budget so that the developer gets paid
- Time so if you or someone else wants to develop a driver do not hesitate to 
ask and just do it
- Access to devices and / or manuals for the specific protocol is missing (so 
it makes it difficult for the developer to build and test a driver)

Cheers,
otluk
