Conguration rules
The following conguration rules apply:
• When a single CPU module is used, it must be plugged into the left CPU module slot.
Conguration example
The following gure shows an example of the conguration of the SIMATIC CN 4100
communication system. Included are:
• A redundant connection to the plant network.
• Redundant Ethernet connections to two networks.
• Redundant RS-232 connections to four serial ports.
