Mitsu Posted November 13, 2012 Report Posted November 13, 2012 I don't know if this is already known, but Mitsubishi Europe is now providing a solution for end users who want to use Profinet. The solution is rather "custom-made" in a sense that Mitsubishi Japan hasn't developed a Profinet master card but instead Mitsubishi is offering a profinet solution based on the C-cpu (the ME1PN1FW-CCPU profinet master card). They also offer GX Configurator PN, which is basically GX Configurator DP but for Profinet. Again, Mitsubishi's main focus is on CC Link IE for ethernet based bus systems but similar to Profibus, they now offer a solution for those who wish to use Profinet. Quote
KAZAH Posted November 13, 2012 Report Posted November 13, 2012 The decision expensive for the price. Quote
Crossbow Posted November 14, 2012 Report Posted November 14, 2012 The same is being done here in the USA for Ethernet/IP. It's a custom communication package running on the CCPU. Quote
kaare_t Posted November 14, 2012 Report Posted November 14, 2012 I agree with KAZAA, sadly the price of the CCPU is very high. However it's prefect that they can use the CCPU to make custom modules for us, love the MES-IT!!!!! Quote
Mitsu Posted November 19, 2012 Author Report Posted November 19, 2012 (edited) Has anyone had any experience with solutions from Icc designs? They have developed the profinet cards (mutliprotocol cards) for the Mitsubishi frequency converters (A7N-ETH). I suppose they are an american company? Reliable products? Also, as a coincidence, they seem to have developed the Ethernet/IP firmware for the Q12Ccpu (which was mentioned earlier in this thread). Since the profinet solution is considered expensive, i was wondering: are people using Mitsubishi going to keep using profibus as bus system in the future? Any interest in ethernet based netwerks within the factory floor? How do you see this evolve in the future? Edited November 19, 2012 by Mitsu Quote
