PLC-PLC Connection
The PLC-PLC connection serves for message-oriented communication be-
tween two programmable controllers, without a detour via an additional sta-
tion.
Each message of the non-safety-related PLC-PLC connection can contain up
to 64 bytes of data.
If you install a PLC-PLC connection, you must parameterize the CP 541 as
an active station.
The node address specified in the programmable controller is converted by
the CP 541 to the station number and vice versa. Node address 1 is converted
to station number 1, node address 2 to station number 2, etc.
