Routing network nodes: MPI - DP
Gateways between subnets are routed in a SIMATIC station that is equipped with interfaces
to the respective subnets. The figure below shows CPU 1 (DP master) acting as router for
subnets 1 and 2.
Subnet 1 (e.g. MPI)
Subnet 2 (e.g. PROFIBUS DP)

The figure below shows the access to an Ethernet subnet. CPU 1 (315-2 DP, for example) is
the router for subnet 1 and 2; CPU 2 is the router for subnet 2 and 3.
