Remarks

Driver

For profinet: Firmware (recommended 3.13 series) https://kb.hilscher.com/display/PNS3V5/Version+History+-+V3.5+to+V3.x

Data direction
Slot direction is from the application perspective, different than in SYCON software.
IN: in SYCON.net is marked as output
OUT: in SYCON.net is marked as input
Data endianness
Remember to check endianness on controller and device sides, most controllers will use big endian. Data written to the card will be converted by default to network order. (to big endian)
Data read from the card will be converted to native byte order. (by default from big endian)
