Example of a PROFIBUS DP Configuration
Figure 5-5 shows an example of a PROFIBUS DP configuration with devices from
the SIMATIC S7, SIMATIC S5 and ET 200 series. The S7-400 is the DP master in
this configuration, all other devices are DP slaves.

Introduction
Full communication from the field to the control center is one of the most important
demands in automation engineering today. The technology employed must meet
the following requirements:
• Standardized connection systems
• Uniform network management
• IT access mechanisms
• Comprehensive diagnostic options
