/AG
The COM1(TTY) interface is used to connect, for example, S5 programmable
controllers (PLC). The supplied adapter ”Serial Port Adaptors D9/D25” can be used
to convert the interface into a 9-pole standard V.24 interface for connecting serial
interface devices, for example, modems, mice or printers.

RJ45 Ethernet connector. Ethernet is a local area network with a bus structure for
data communication with a data transfer rate of 10/100 Mbit per second (Mbps).
4 MPI/DP Multipoint Interface
The MPI/DP interface is isolated from line potential. You can use it to connect the
SIMATIC Field PG to an S7 automation system or to a PROFIBUS network.
