Introduction
Typical Communication Partners
CP 1616 onboard as an IO controller
The following diagram shows a typical application: CP 1616 onboard as PROFINET IO
controller on the IO controller layer.
The IO base controller user program runs on the PC. This program accesses the functions of
the IO base user program interface.
Data traffic is routed via the communication processor to several SIMATIC S7 PROFINET IO
devices, ET 200S over Industrial Ethernet.
