Recommendation: The number of devices in the PROFINET ring affects the availability of the S7-
1500R system. The number of PROFINET devices including R-CPUs in the PROFINET ring should not
exceed 16. If you operate significantly more devices in the PROFINET ring, the availability is re-
duced.
The technical specifications in the documentation are based on the recommended maximum of 16
PROFINET devices in the ring in S7-1500R.
