Monitor profibus ladder on a network

[niktesla]

I do maintenance at a facility where there are two S7 300 with a profibus network and distributed in several OIs panels via ET 200 U.
It would be possible to monitor the ladder in any of these panels that have ET200U.

Thank

As far as I know, "Ladder monitoring function" is only integrated in OMRON HMI.

No, no. What I mean is if it is possible to monitor a simatic S7 300 with connecting the laptop in ET 200U.
If possible, how?

Hi,
You need Profibus connector with PG interface on top. Also You need communication processor CP5711 or genuine Siemens PG.

As far as I know you can't do it because ET200 doesn't have power lines on his connector, however the better part of PC adapters needs it.
