Create drivers for the siemens cp5611 (profibus)

[Guest Xavier O'Brien]

Is it possible to create drivers for the cp5611 to be able to listen into the Profibus network using Prodave? The reason I need this information is because I am trying to make a software program that can listen into the Profibus DP network without knowing what is on the network. If Prodave and / or the CP5611 will not work for this project, can you please advise me what may work? Thank you Xavier O’Brien.

No Prodave cant be used. Prodave is used for communication between a pc and the mpi port on the cpu.
