Hi,
well on netPI device "NIOT-E-NPI3-51-EN-RE" the netX controller featuring cifx0/fieldbus interface can only be fieldbus device OR ethernet-lan interface at the same time. Both at the same time is not possible. This is due to the two independently running docker containers , Node-RED and Ethernet-LAN. Only one docker container of both (the last one that is started on the netPI system after boot sequence) will "win" and claims the netX access prior the other container. So if the Ethernet-LAN container is the one started later after the Fieldbus container was started the netX will turned into Ethernet-LAN ... if the fieldbus container is started after the Ethernet-LAN container then the netX will be turned in a fieldbus interface.
I am sorry to say that this scenario is not possible at all. The only chance you have is to connect the netPI's eth0 interface to the S7 PLC as well and let netX run in fieldbus bus.
Thx
Armin
