CP 1616 in a PC as IO device
The following schematic illustrates a typical application:
Two PCs each with a CP 1616 as PROFINET IO device at the IO device level.
There is also a PC with a CP 1616 as PROFINET IO controller, a SIMATIC S7-400 with a
CP 443-1 as PROFINET IO controller and two SIMATIC S7 ET 200S PROFINET IO devices
in the network.
On the IO device PCs, there is an IO-Base device user program that accesses the functions
of the IO-Base user programming interface. The data traffic is via a CP 1616
communications processor to a PC as PROFINET IO controller or an S7-400 automation
system with a CP 443-1 via Industrial Ethernet.
