Christofer Dutz commented on PLC4X-8:
-------------------------------------
The status is unchanged ... we're all set for getting started with this, but as
far as I recall nobody in the community had the time to actually get started.
> Implement the Profinet Protocol
> -------------------------------
>
> Key: PLC4X-8
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PLC4X-8
> Project: Apache PLC4X
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Driver-Profinet
> Reporter: Christofer Dutz
> Priority: Major
>
> In contrast to the already implemented S7 communication, the Profinet
> Protocol is a different Protocol with different feature set. In order to
> implement a Profinet driver it is required to become Member of the Profinet
> Consortium. This membership is ties with an annual membership fee. The ASF
> could become a member. The problem with this is however that the ASF doesn't
> become member in things that cost the ASF money. I have discussed this issue
> with the CEO of Profinet Europe and there might be an option for the ASF to
> become a member and someone else paying the bill. Only members seem to be
> allowed to advertise with the Profinet Logo and call their products Profinet
> Compatible.
