MPI/DP Network
With the CP 5611 A2 communications processor, up to
32 devices (PC, PG, SIMATIC S7 or ET 200) can be con-
nected together to form a network segment. By coupling
several segments with repeaters, a maximum of 127 nodes
can be connected.
The physical coupling of the MPI/DP interface to the
MPI/DP network is over a floating RS-485 interface that is
part of the module. Depending on the network configuration
in the MPI/DP network, data transmission rates of 9.6 Kbps
up to maximum of 12 Mbps are possible.
