    Hello everyone, I have to put in communication two RPI with Codesys.
    The two have to exchange some variables between them.

    hi,
    cheapest... -> none of them have extra costs every licenses included!

    The options are:
    Networkvariables (UDP)
    ProfinetController - Profinet Device
    Modbus TCP / Master - Slave
    Ethernet/IP Scanner and Adpater
    Netbase Services (see store example plc chat)

    Hi Edwin,

    Thankyou for the Answer

    Ok i understand but if i want use ModBus TCP i need one Master License like this:
    [url]
    http://store.codesys.com/codesys-modbus-master-tcp.html
    [/url]

    And this license is included or no?!?!
    For me i understand is not included, then i need one for master and slave is included.
