Overview
The CP 541 provides a link between programmable controllers of the
SIMATIC S5 family via SINEC L2 and other programmable controllers.
Given in this chapter is a summary covering the application of the CP 541
and its characteristics.
The following situation is covered by this Manual:
The programmable controller connected to the PG/PLC port is referred to
as a connected programmable controller.
For working with the CP 541, it is not important to know which stations
are connected to SINEC L2. We therefore do not refer to programmable
controllers on SINEC L2, but generally to SINEC L2.
