Hi there,
Could someone give me some advice on this one:
I am doing an upgrade to an existing S7-PLC system. The PLC is a S7-315 2 DP with 2 ET200m profibus remote stations.
I need to add 2 new remote stations, one is 50m from PLC and another is 600m from PLC.
The guys were going to bury the profibus cable in pipe to the 600m remote station on Monday.
The network speed is currently at 1.5MBbps and I don't want to reduce it dramatically.
What would you do? Install a repeater? Media converters?
