Which Profinet protocol stack?
« on: September 28, 2014, 09:28:19 pm »
For an upcoming project I may want to interface with Profinet (that is a PLC communication protocol over ethernet) implemented on a microcontroller.
I have been looking into how to interface with Profinet. There are three options:
- Roll my own Profinet implementation
- Buy a protocol stack
- Buy an interface module.
The option of writing my own Profinet protocol stack doesn't appeal to me because it always takes more time than expected. The advantage of using a readily available protocol stack is that I can also add stuff like a webserver to read the status using a webbrowser and upload new firmware remotely. There are several protocol stacks out there and I'm wondering if anyone has experience with one or more of those.

There are small lies, big lies and then there is what is on the screen of your oscilloscope.
