Hi,

Is it possible to use the Siemens drivers with the Link IE/PB PN IO gateway [http://www.automation.siemens.com/mcms/industrial-communication/en/profibus/network-transition/ie-pb-link-pn-io/Pages/ie-pb-link-pn-io.aspx](http://www.automation.siemens.com/mcms/industrial-communication/en/profibus/network-transition/ie-pb-link-pn-io/Pages/ie-pb-link-pn-io.aspx) ?

Regards,

This is not currently supported, sorry. I’ll make a note of this request however.

Bad news, but great new if supported in the near future.

I don’t even have access to one of those gateways or a PROFIBUS device to put behind it… May be a long road ahead.
