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 Am Di., 16.
