Post by eugenhuber »

Hi,
anybody has a solution for using a Raspberry PI as a Profinet Controller, preferably under C/C++ or Python?
Thx

Well it was like I thought but... some problems:
Profinet is real time and closed source, especially IRT mode or RT mode. Developing it could be a long way and maybe not a good plan.
Controller should be real time to handle SCL LAD STL etc, the real time kernel is not a easy work, as some company like CodeSyS provided the solution with expensive price.
Raspberry PI has no EMC or other electromagnetic compatibility tests, in industry facilities reliable should be put in first place.
Raspberry PI is linux based, so you may try RT-Linux, but still it may have problems.

Good luck.
