Linking PROFINET and PROFIBUS
With a proxy-capable PROFINET device which is equipped with a PROFINET interface in
addition to a PROFIBUS interface (for example, IE/PB Link PN IO), you can integrate existing
PROFIBUS configurations into the PROFINET configuration.
The following figures shows how a PROFIBUS system is connected via IE/PB Link to a CPU
S7-1500 (as of firmware version 1.7).
