Well James,
the netPI RTE 3 device can only be a single PROFINET IO device on one side and an IOT device (i.e. Azure) on the other. Whereas the HMS device you are referencing is a PROFINET to PROFINET gateway usually connecting two different PROFINET networks with each other.
So my question is are you looking for a device that is able to provide both functions PROFINET to PROFINET and Azure function all in one or is your need just to bring some PROFINET data to Azure only?. In latter case netPI is your device. But before we continue to talk this question needs to be answered first.
Thx
Armin
