Elixir connecting to devices in Profinet
Has anyone had some experience in using Elixir to connect to devices in a Profinet network?

I haven’t heard of anyone doing this yet, but from the (very brief) reading I did it seems possible. There are some real time constraints that it might not be possible to guarantee, but the use case is definitely interesting. Please circle back and update here if you find success or need specific help. I’ll keep my eye out to see if anyone else mentions it too.

Hi @tobi 
I am not aware of any Elixir implementations of Profibus/Profinet. But it should definitely be possible 
Elixir has excellent tools for working with binary communication protocols, like :gen_statem and binary pattern matching. I’ve implemented most of KNXnet/IP and I’m currently working (on and off) on IEC104. There’s also a couple libraries for Modbus.
I’m not familiar with the Profibus/Profinet standard. Unfortunately I don’t have much time to help at the moment 
I am curious though - how would you be interfacing with the master? RS-485, Ethernet or something else?
