Communication

3.1 Interfaces

Note

(for DP interface in slave mode only)

When you disable the Commissioning / Debug mode / Routing check box in the DP interface properties dialog in STEP 7, all user-specific transmission rate settings will be ignored, and the transmission rate of the master is automatically set instead. This disables the routing function at this interface.

Availability

CPUs with a “PtP“ name suffix are equipped with a PtP X2 interface. X2.

Connecting to Industrial Ethernet

You can use the integrated PROFINET interface of the CPU to establish a connection to Industrial Ethernet.

The integrated PROFINET interface of the CPU can be configured via MPI or PROFINET.
