Number of connections 
Table 2- 2  Number of connections for S7 communication 
Characteristic  Explanation / values 
Number of connections for S7 communication via 
Industrial Ethernet for: 
  Operator control and monitoring functions 
(HMI) 
  S7 connections configured at one end 
Maximum 4 (one-ended connections) 
The number depends on the CPU type being used; the valid values 
can be found in /1/ (Page 60).
