Addressing the CP 343-2 in the S7 Automation System
The CP 343-2 can be addressed by the PLC like an analog module with 16 input
bytes and 16 output bytes. The CP occupies 16 input bytes and 16 output bytes in
the I/O address space of the S7 automation system (analog area on the AS).
Of the 16 bytes I/O address area of the CP 343-2, 31 x 4 bits are used for the
binary data of the AS-i standard slaves or A slaves. The remaining four bits are
reserved for later applications.
The base address n of this address area is fixed as follows by the slot of the
CP 343-2.

Note
In most CPUs (for example, the CPU 315-2DP, 318), the slot-oriented addressing
can be modified with STEP 7 configuration (HW Config).
In particular, with the freely configurable CPUs, it is possible to address the
standard AS-i slaves or the A/B slaves with A addresses from the extended
address area via the process image of the inputs and outputs.
