You connect the permanently installed PG/PC in the MPI network to one or
more nodes of the MPI network according to the rules explained in Section
3.2.
Figure 4-2 shows a C7 network with two C7s. The two C7s are
interconnected using a PROFIBUS LAN cable.

If there is no stationary programming device/PC, we recommend the
following procedure:
To attach a programming device/PC to an MPI network with an “Unknown”
node address, it is advisable to set the following address on the service
programming device/PC:
S MPI address: 0
S Highest MPI address: 126.
Following this, use the STEP 7 function Hardware Configuration to find out
the highest MPI address in the MPI network and then set the highest MPI
address on the programming device/PC to the same value as that of the MPI
network.
