FNL is an Ethernet based PROFIBUS-DP-Gateway which supports
DP Master as well as DP Slave mode. FNL can be directly operated
via its TCP/IP Socket. Only a few simple commands are necessary to
get FNL into operation.
Within scope of delivery, a detailed Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 example
program incl. C/C++ source code can be found, describing the
implementation of the TCP/IP Socket Interface.
Due to the independent access via the TCP/IP Socket Interface, FNL
