Can RevPi Act as Profinet to MQTT gateway?

Post by IndustrialAnalytics »

I am working on a proof of concept in which I need to pull data from an S7-1500 PLC with Profinet. The flyer for the RevPi states "RevPi Connect can also be upgraded with PROFINET, EtherNet/IP... functionality without the use of expansion modules." Does that mean that the RevPi could be a Profinet slave and I could use Node Red to send Profinet data to the cloud via MQTT? If so, how would I order the RevPi with this upgrade?

Thanks in advance for the support.

If you want to have a Profinet slave device there are two options available But if you just want to access Profinet HMI data you may use the RevPi 7 virtual module.
There is unfortunately just a german tutorial available here:

Regarding MQTT you may use i.e. Node-RED.
