S7 MPI Connection problem

[DDV]

Most of our systems use profibus or mpi to connect to the operator panels, if I connect via Ethernet to the plc I have to integrate protocol in order to access the panel program.

Good tip. Didnt know that it was possible at all. I shall have to try it out the next time I program an OP.
