Hi Robin,

Lets face it, Modbus was never a fieldbus used frequently by Siemens. I do not know the equipment that you have, but it sounds as if a gateway would be an easier way to go.

With a gateway from HMS, Profibus slave to Modbus master, you would set up the Modbus network with the gateway and Profibus with the Siemens PLC.

Go to: http://www.anybus.com/support/support.asp?PID=104&ProductType=Anyb us%20Communicator
for more information about the gateway, or send me an email, support@hms.se
