Connection resources for routing
Number of connection resources for routing
The CPUs with DP interface provide a different number of connection resources for the
routing function:
Table 3-12
CPU
31xC, CPU 31x
317-2 DP
31x-2 PN/DP
319-3 PN/DP
Example of a CPU 314C-2 DP
The CPU 314C-2 DP provides 12 connection resources (refer to Table 3-11):
• Reserve two connection resources for PG communication.
• Reserve three connection resources for OP communication.
• Reserve one connection resource for S7-based communication.
This leaves six connection resources available for other communication service, e.g. S7
communication, OP communication, etc.
In addition 4 routing connections via the CPU are possible.
