Implement the Profinet Protocol #581

Open ottlukas opened 1 year ago

ottlukas commented 1 year ago

In contrast to the already implemented S7 communication, the Profinet Protocol is a different Protocol with different feature set. In order to implement a Profinet driver it is required to become Member of the Profinet Consortium. This membership is ties with an annual membership fee. The ASF could become a member. The problem with this is however that the ASF doesn't become member in things that cost the ASF money. I have discussed this issue with the CEO of Profinet Europe and there might be an option for the ASF to become a member and someone else paying the bill. Only members seem to be allowed to advertise with the Profinet Logo and call their products Profinet Compatible.

@chrisdutz can this be closed as well?

Well it's not yet finished ... we're still working on getting a stable version working, so: no ... it's not yet closable.
