Configuration of a PROFIBUS DP network
The figure below illustrates the typical configuration of a PROFIBUS DP network. The DP
masters are integrated in the corresponding device. The S7-400 or S7-300, for example, are
equipped with a PROFIBUS DP interface. DP slaves are the distributed I/O systems which
are connected to the DP masters via PROFIBUS DP.
