Connection configuration for PLCs
•
SIMATIC S7
Use only the approved cables for connection to a SIMATIC S7.
•
IF1A / IF1B
To enable communication using the serial interface, connect either the IF1A (RS 232) or
IF1B (RS 422/485), but not both. The 1F1B interface can be configured using a switch.
•
PROFIBUS DP
Any PROFIBUS-DP bus terminal can be used.
