Hi all,
I'm studying the Fido5x00 documentation to better understand if this IC could be interesting for designing a Profinet slave (I'm also interested in other future implementations of other Ethernet-based field buses).
I've read that Profinet protocol is supported and the firmware must be loaded from my host processor.
What I haven't understood is related to what I have to manage to run Profinet.
I don't want to buy an IP or Profinet stack and deploy if to my processor. Is this IC family capable of doing ALL the Profinet implementation, delegating to to user only the configuration and data read/write?
Thanks in advance for your answers.
Hello.
The PROFINET driver when used with the fio5x000 can support all protocols depending on the firmware load . It is still on the user to write the software to support certain parts of PROFINET, EtherCAT…
Hi, any ideas about my question?
The PROFINET driver when used with the fio5x000 can support all protocols depending on the firmware load . It is still on the user to write the software to support certain parts of PROFINET, EtherCAT etc.
This as you identified, includes the stacks that you would obtain from a third party.
Thank you very much.
Best Regards,
