If you wish to perform communications via Industrial Ethernet or PROFIBUS
subnet, you must install an additional communication processor (CP) on your PC.
The communication options to other nodes are as follows:
1. Connection to PROFIBUS-DP through the integrated interface.
2. Connection to MPI or PROFIBUS-DP through the second integrated interface.
3. Connection to PC through the PCI interface.
4. Connection to another network such as Industrial Ethernet/PROFIBUS via a
communication processor (CP).
Note
With SIMATIC Manager (STEP 7), which is installed on the same PC as the
CPU 41x-2 PCI, you cannot simultaneously operate the CPU 41x-2 PCI and the
CPUs connected via Industrial Ethernet or PROFIBUS subnet.
You have to assign parameters to the corresponding S7ONLINE access points
(STEP 7) using “Set PG/PC interface”.
