Introduction
The efficiency of control systems is not determined by automation devices alone, but
depends to a large extent on the overall configuration of an automation solution. This
includes a powerful communication system in addition to plant visualization and operator
control and monitoring.
The STEP 7 engineering tool supports you during the engineering and configuration of an
automation solution.
Applications of PROFIBUS DP
The PROFIBUS network offers wireless connection of several controllers, components and
subnets as electrical network, optical network or by using links. Sensors and actuators are
controlled centrally by means of PROFIBUS DP.
The following figure shows connection options to PROFIBUS DP:
