Hey Everyone,
I am currently working with a wire pull sensor it is a mirco-epsilon digital output and uses PROFINET as the protocol. The issue I am having is that the use is not for industrial or commercial use. We are going to use the output from the sensor to control parts of a stage for a play. With that said we would prefer not to have to invest in the Step 7 software to receive the output from the sensor.
What I am looking for is a different wire pull sensor with digital output, that uses a open source, or a non-proprietary protocol that works with TCP/IP so we can possibly pull the information from the packets and use the information with other software.
If this does not exist, is there another option besides Step 7 for receiving and controlling PROFIBUS sensors?
Sorry if some of this is a bit off, I am not that familiar with automation protocols and am trying to get a better understanding of them.
Thanks!
