Profibus

[can]

Hi guys. I have a machine that has a lot of sensor using profibus. I'm trying to retrofit the control using fm88. How can fm88 talk profibus with the sensors? Thank you

FMD does not communicate with Profibus directly. The only way is to use a Profibus to Modbus gateway so that the PLC and communicate with the gateway via Modbus and the gateway will then translate the messages to Profibus and vice versa. However, we don't have much experience in this field. Other users may like to contribute on this topic.
