Also: 
●  Further TCP connections for Web diagnostics 
●  PROFINET IO 
–  As PROFINET IO device: 
1 PROFINET connection to a PROFINET IO controller 
or 
–  As shared device: 
2 PROFINET connections to 2 PROFINET IO controllers 
or 
–  As PROFINET IO controller: 
Max. 32 PROFINET connections to PROFINET IO devices

in each case, up to 
•  16 operator control and monitoring functions (HMI) 
•  16 S7 connections configured at one end 
•  16 S7 connections configured at both ends 
The number depends on the CPU type being used; the valid values 
can be found in /1/ (Page 71). 
You should still keep to the maximum number of Ethernet connec-
tions specified in the section Number of possible Ethernet/PROFINET 
connections (Page 17). 
maximum 16 resources 
For each executed S7 communications function, a job resource is 
required. If the CP has 16 job resources, then only 1 PUT or GET job 
can be executed at one time on each of the 16 S7 connections. The 
same applies to BSEND/BRECV and USEND/URECV jobs.
