Communication with the S7-300
5.4 S7 communication structure
Communication service Distribution
Routing PG functions The CPU provides a certain number of connection resources
for routing.
These connections are available in addition to the S7
connection resources.
The number of routing connections can be found in the
Technical Specifications.

Example of a CPU 315T-2 DP
The CPU 315T-2 DP provides 16 S7 connections:
• Reserve two S7 connections for PG communication.
• Reserve three S7 connections for OP communication.
• Reserve one S7 connection for S7 basic communication.
This leaves 10 S7 connections available for arbitrary communication services, e.g. S7
communication, OP communication, etc.
