Caution
Risk of damage to the PG 720!
Before plugging in the cables, the static charge on your body, the unit and
the cables must be equalized. You can do this by briefly touching the metal
mounting plate for the interfaces on the left-hand panel.
Via the MPI/DP interface, you can connect your programming devices to
S
MPI networks (S7-200, S7-300 and S7-400) or
S
PROFIBUS DP networks (DP components).
The supplied MPI cable can be used for connection to MPI networks with
transmission rates up to 187.5 Kbps.
