Hello Philip,
the netX firmware used on netPI is not a special one.
Normally customer use netX51 chip in their embedded systems to enable PROFINET,EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP slave communications with their motherboards. Others want to use netX as standard ethernet port. This is another firmware.
So for your case this would mean to write a special firmware that does both in combination ... and this firmware does not exists and will not be written since there is no return of invest for Hilscher as you can imagine.
Hence netPI and especially netX will not be working as a sniffer as you requested.
Thx
Armin
