Hello machadothi; The announcement from ROS for Profinet suport is fairly recent, and describes a project under development. https://rosindustrial.org/news/2015/7/27/announcing-profinet-support "The goal of current development is to define a ROS-PROFINET abstraction layer and provide a specific implementation for the CP1616. The package release date is targeted for September." The little information provided point to a very specific build designed around the CP 1616. If you wish to use this with a generic communication card (using OPC for example), you should talk to ROS Industrial; you could ask them for example if they are developping an OPC server for this application. The CP 1616 is a hardnet communication processor, built around a dedicated ASIC chip, Ethernet realtime ASIC ERTEC 400. It requires special drivers (Simatic Net CP 1616 - Hardnet) that the ROS-Industrial developers are attaching to. So, can you use the ROS-Industrial Profinet driver with anything else than a CP 1616? We cannot answer this type of question with more details without having more information. Hope this helps, Daniel Chartier |
