Key to numbers in the figure 
(1)  Terminating resistor enabled. 
(2)  S7-300 and OP 27 have subsequently been connected to the MPI subnet using their default 
MPI address. 
(3)  CPU 31xC, 312, 314, 315-2 DP 
You can also assign user-specific MPI addresses to the CPs/FMs at these CPUs.  
CPU 317-2 DP 
CPs and FMs do not have their own MPI address in this CPU. 
(4)  In addition to the MPI address, the CP also has a PROFIBUS address (7 in this case). 
(5)  Connected via a stub cable using the default MPI address for commissioning/maintenance
