Requirements
•
One of the two connections of the PROFINET ring between the two R-CPUs must not
contain any other IO devices, switches or other PROFINET devices apart from transparent
media converters.
•
The default setting in STEP7 is port 2 at PROFINET interface X1.
–
Connect the PROFINET cable to the ports of the PROFINET interfaces of the two R-CPUs.
–
The maximum length of the PROFINET cable is 100m.
•
You can extend the spatial distance between the two R-CPUs using a media converter
(electrical/optical). In this case, the maximum length depends on the type of media
converter used.
You can find more information in the documentation for the media converter:
