As an alternative you can attach to a network in the
Properties dialog of the module available
with the context menu (right-hand mouse button) and selecting the
Object Properties...
menu. The dialog is described in the section dealing with parameter assignment of network
nodes.
With the simpler technique of dragging network node icons to the network line, only suitable
partners can be networked; in other words an MPI node can only be connected to an MPI
network. This makes incorrect attachment impossible.
Figure 1-19 Networked sample project
The following network attachments were made in the sample project:
● The master station with the CPU 317-2 DP, the redundant ST7cc control center created
as PC stations and the PG were connected to the MPI network and to Ethernet 1.
● The master TIM 4R-IE was further connected with Ethernet 2, dedicated line 2 and the
dial-up network.
● The TIM 3V-IE in station 1 was connected to Ethernet 1.
