MPI/PROFIBUS-DP Addresses
In order for all nodes to be able to communicate with one another, you must assign
them an address:
In the MPI network, an MPI address
A PROFIBUS-DP address in the PROFIBUS-DP network
Default MPI Addresses
The following table shows the default MPI address and the max. MPI address with
which the devices are shipped:
Node (Device) Default MPI Address Default Highest MPI
Address
Programming device 0 32
OP 1 32
CPU 2 32
Note
If you change the parameter assignment of the highest MPI address of the
MPI/DP interface, the new address remains set even after memory reset, voltage
failure or removing/inserting the CPU.
Rules for MPI Addresses
Observe the following rules before assigning MPI addresses:
All MPI addresses in an MPI network must be different.
The highest possible MPI address must be w the highest actual MPI address
and must be set to the same value for all nodes. (Exception: connecting a
programming device to two or more nodes.)
