Inter-station communication
In this table, you specify the communications partners of the CP for inter-station
communication. The communications partner is a CP in the partner S7 station.
Connections for inter-station communication run via the telecontrol server.

the section Partner stations (Page 82).

to assign data points to their communications partners.
You specify the partner CP for inter-station communication with the parameters "Project",
"Station" and "Slot".
