I have a system that is being built in New York that will ultimately ship to Korea. My system will sit as a Slave on a Profibus DP network. I would like to simulate a master here at home before it ships so that I can clean up any coding and operational problems.

My thought right now is to purchase a Softing PCI card for my PC, use their OPC server tools and VB ActiveX components, and make my PC the DP Master.

Does anyone have any experience with Softing that could give me some things to look out for? Or does someone have a suggestion about another way to simulate the Master?
