Communication via Ethernet CPs in S7 Stations
24 SIMATIC NET NCM S7 for Industrial Ethernet
C79000-G8976-C129–06
SClient and server functionality at one end only (S7 connections
configured at one end)
In the following situations, write and read functions can be implemented with
PUT / GET:
S7 communication over router
PG/PC stations can access S7 stations if the PG/PC stations are connected
to a different subnet (PROFIBUS / Ethernet) via routers (for example, an
IE/PB Link); in this case, S7 stations are servers.
S7 communication is possible over a gateway.
