Yes this is right. netX51 type of chip cannot be a master. It supports device protocol stacks only.
But if you want to let a Rasperry Pi be a PROFINET master (and because netPI is compatible to RPi it works with netPI too) then this is very easy. It goes across the eth0 port using CODESYS SoftPLC. You can test it 2 hours for free then the PLC stops. So you can replace an S7 PLC with a Raspberry Pi or netPI.
Next to PROFINET master, CODESYS can also be EtherNet/IP master or EtherCAT master.
