Field Information Manager supports connectivity to Profinet devices and the Field Communication Interface CI845 with S800 I/O and Select I/O.
FIM Bridge PROFINET as a Windows Service
Basic part of the connectivity to PROFINET is the FIM Bridge PROFINET which is installed as a Windows service. It is based on an FDI Communication Server and uses the previously configured network adapters to access corresponding PROFINET networks and PROFINET devices in such networks.
Support for multiple PROFINET network adapters is given which allows the connection to multiple PROFINET networks at the same time.
