Connecting a Programming Device (PG) to Two or More Nodes
Two Arrangements
To connect a programming device to two or more nodes, you must distinguish
between two arrangements:
•
A programming device permanently installed in the MPI subnet
•
A programming device connected for startup and maintenance
Depending on this, you connect the programming device to the other nodes as
follows (see also Chapter 5).
