Point-to-Point communication is no subnet in the common sense, because only two
stations are interconnected.
For this type of communication you require PtP communication processors (CP).

Industrial Ethernet in an open multivendor communication system represents the
SIMATIC network at the process and cell level. Industrial Ethernet is suitable for
fast and high-volume data exchange and offers offsite networking options via
gateway.
With S7-300 CPUs, you can implement Industrial Ethernet connections only with
the help of communication processors.

The ASI, or actuator/sensor interface, represents a subnet system on the lowest
process level for automation systems. It is used especially for networking digital
sensors and actuators. The maximum data volume is 4 bit per slave station.
With S7-300 CPUs, you can connect to an ASI only with the help of communication
processors.

For your MPI network configuration, we recommend you use the same network
components as in a PROFIBUS DP network configuration. The same configuration
rules apply in this case.
