Profinet solution for AC800f
Hi!
we are upgrading our plant, with that some new equipment has to be bought.
as of now we are using a AC800F together with an old PILZ for furnacecontroll. The PILZ we use today is connected by PROFIBUS.
but now we face the problem that a new PILZ has to be installed, because the old one is outdated. The new one only uses PROFINET, and as i understand it the AC800F dont have a module for this.
What is the best thing to do here? we still need our 800F for all the other things we control down there. is there a standalone module for profinet or does anyone have any other smart solutions? im very novice when it comes to PROFINET.

Hello!
There is no PROFINET module available for AC 800F. AC 900F will in future have a PROFINET interface.
Until then you could think about using a different Zone 2 capable PC, like the iSiS 1202 PC from http://www.isis-ex.com/.
If you want to stay with PILZ you could think about using a PROFINET-to-PROFIBUS converter / gateway, like the Anybus X-gateways http://www.anybus.com/
Hope that helps
