1.7.3 Network/Project Variant: Two or More Subnets – One Project
Configuration of the System
Due to the different tasks of the stations or due to the extent of the system it may
be necessary to operate more than one network.

This representation illustrates the following:
SMore than one subnet can be managed in one project.
SEach station is created once in the project.
SEach station can be assigned to more than one subnet by assigning its CPs to
different subnets.
