Hey all,
I have to get data from the Sick FX3 cpu to our ignition system. For that, there’s a number of gateways available on the Sick system. The rest of the shop is all Siemens PLC. So if possible, we’d use the profinet gateway. Since the Siemens protocols are all device based (S7-300, 400, 1200 and 1500) i’m having doubts as to how easy this is going to be since the device i’d be talking to is none of those options. I’m wondering if someone else has some experience or insight that could help me figure this out.
Here is some information from the FX0-GPNT (profinet) gateway:
The FX0-GPNT PROFINET IO gateway Important information NOTICE FX0-GPNT with firmware ≥ V3.00.0 supports only network class 1. PROFINET devices with network class 2 and higher are not supported.

Thanks all!
