3.18.1.2 Overview, "Automatic mode: Communications" 
In the "Automatic mode: Communications", tabular values can be 
transferred using the following communication versions: 
•  S7 via the P bus for SIMATIC FM 458 (it is necessary to additionally 
configure the WR_TAB on the control side) 
•  TCP/IP (tabular values can be transferred from a SIMATIC TDC 
module to another one using the CTV and CRV FBs) 
•  DUST1 (tabular values can only be transferred via a DUST1 interface) 
The tabular values are transferred using data telegrams. 
The following diagram illustrates the principle procedure in the "Automatic 
mode: Communications" for transferring tables from an S7 control to a 
SIMATIC FM 458 application module via the P bus:
