Overview
PROFIBUS DP lines can be connected to a SIMATIC PCS 7 au-
tomation system (controller) via up to 4 internal interfaces in the
CPU and up to 10 additional CP 443-5 Extended communica-
tions processors.
If a module slot provided in the CPU for the PROFIBUS connec-
tion is still vacant, an IF 964-DP interface module is required in
addition. When using data set routing with SIMATIC PDM, use of
the CP 443-5 Extended communications processor is essential
for the PROFIBUS connection.
