Potentially an EherCat Slave to Profibus Slave Gateway, like https://www.hilscher.com/products/product-groups/gateways/for-the-control-cabinet-ip20/fieldbus-gateways/nt-100-re-dpecsdps/?&techCats=8,35&techTypeMaster=1&techTypeSlave=1 is a solution. Other suppliers offer such gateways also.
It has to be checked wether
- ctrlX CORE EtherCAT master can operate the Gateway
- whether the Gateway fulfils the functional and pefformance requirements of the application
