PERATING PRINCIPLE
MICRO PANELs with an "onboard" MPI and Ethernet interface support the S7 PG Routing function.
This function allows S7 controllers connected to the MICRO PANEL to be programmed via the MICRO
PANEL's Ethernet interface.
As shown in the figure, several controllers connected to a MICRO PANEL can be programmed. It is
also possible to route more than one PG connection via a MICRO PANEL.
The S7 Routing function can also be used if a started GALILEO project is communicating with the
controller at the same time.
Note:
The S7 Routing function is only supported by MICRO PANELs with an onboard MPI interface and a
WinCE operating system from version 2.12 or higher.
Refer to your MICRO PANEL user manual for further information on connection,
commissioning and operating the MPI and Ethernet interface.
