S5-S5 Communication
This chapter describes the communication with handling blocks on
pre-configured S5-S5 links between active SIMATIC S5 programmable
controllers.
Chapter 8
Free Layer 2 (FL2) Communication
This chapter describes the data exchange with handling blocks using the
layer 2 access of the CP.
The free layer 2 access allows communication with passive and/or
non-Siemens PROFIBUS stations which also have free layer 2 access.
Chapter 9
Global I/Os (GP) Communication
This chapter describes event-driven data transmission using the global I/Os
(GP) via the I/O area of the SIMATIC S5 programmable logic controller.
Chapter 10
Cyclic I/Os (only CP 5430 TF)
This chapter describes the cyclic data exchange to normally passive field
devices using the cyclic I/Os service (ZP) via the I/O area of the SIMATIC
S5 programmable controller.
Chapter 11
Distributed I/Os (DP) Communication
This chapter describes the cyclic communication with standard DP slave
stations via the I/O area of the SIMATIC S5 programmable controller.
