I think Simatic net only support for SIEMENS products. I need communicate SCADA server (iFIX) with other conntrollers via Profibus network.

you say : a profibus DP network, profibus is a standard in industrial automation, with the OPC dp master server yes you can
just put the gsd file for the configuration.
SCADA opc client <------->OPC server DP(master)<------->slave
for a profibus opc master dp a CP5611 A2 (pci mode)

Thanks marcs7.
If WinCC(CP5613) <------->OPC server DP(master)<------->slave-----> OK, no problem
.
But iFIX(CP5613)<-----> which OPC Server??? <------> slave ----> Is it possible
???
Have you ever used iFix with Profibus Interface Card (CP5611/5613)? How to import gsd file to iFix?
Thanks again.

IFix in this case is only the OPC client and GSD files that you need can be imported in configuration of server
Agree with Little_Cat. That is the reason why I'm loocking for OPC Server for Profibus
