Industrial Ethernet
Industrial Ethernet in an open multivendor communication system represents the
SIMATIC network on process and cell level. Industrial Ethernet is suitable for fast
and high-volume data exchange and offers offsite networking options via gateway.
With S7-300 CPUs, you can implement Industrial Ethernet connections only with
the help of communication processors.
Actuator/Sensor Interface (ASI)
The ASI, or actuator/sensor interface, represents a subnet system on the lowest
process level for automation systems. It is used especially for networking digital
sensors and actuators. The maximum data volume is 4 bit per slave station.
With S7-300 CPUs, you can connect to an ASI only with the help of communication
processors.
Same configuration for MPI and PROFIBUS-DP
For your MPI network configuration, we recommend you use the same network
components as in a PROFIBUS-DP network configuration. The same configuration
rules apply in this case.
For reference literature ...
we especially recommend the manual Communication with SIMATIC.
