Data exchange between PC and Siemens via Profinet RT?

I have to program an application in C# that sends and receives data to and from an Siemens S7 PLC. For some reason they require us to use Profinet RT.

I find it difficult to find a straight answer to the following:

Do you need any additional hardware for the PC to communicate via Profinet RT, other than your standard Ethernet port (100Mbps) ?

Top answer

PROFINET IO with real-time communication (RT) is the optimal solution for the integration of peripheral systems. It is a solution that also relies on standard Ethernet in the devices and commercially available industrial switches as infrastructure components. No special hardware support is required.
