Can I connect to Profinet using this library? #44

Sry if I might be misunderstanding some basic concepts, but I need to read devices data from a Profinet Network in my application and wanted to know if this library can do that!?

I keep seeing things related to S7 protocol mixed in my searches for Profinet libraries so I'm getting a little confused.

Hi @Mendes11, sorry for the lately response, The S7 protocol in this library can be used for communication via PROFINET connector in the PLC device or in add-on communication modules. BR, Robinson

I see, after reading a lot I think I got the difference, Thanks!

This library uses the Profinet connector, but not actually talks with other PLC vendors using Profinet protocol.. (right? haha)

Anyway, thanks for the response!
