CPUs, communications modules and processors, and PC systems of the S7-1500, ,
ET 200MPET 200SPET 200pro and ET 200AL systems provide you with interfaces for
communication via PROFINET, PROFIBUS and point-to-point connections.
CPUs, communications modules and communications processors
PROFINET and PROFIBUS DP interfaces are integrated in the S7-1500 CPUs. The
CPU 1516-3 PN/DP for example has two PROFINET interfaces and one PROFIBUS DP
interface. Other PROFINET and PROFIBUS DP interfaces are available by using
communications modules (CM) and communications processors (CP).
PROFINET interface (X2) with 1 port
PROFINET interface (X1) with 2-port switch
PROFIBUS DP interface (X3)
PROFINET interface (X1) with 3-port switch
