Hi,
I have three S7-300 PLC's and one PC (with CP5611)...I have a multiproject (Main PLC(node2), PLC1(node3) and PLC2(node4)) already made....In that project all are connected in MPI configuration...How to use that project? how to network?? I like to share my concept and am always welcome with suggestions...
1.Using a laptop having siemens simatic step7 installed...using MPI adapter I will download the Main PLC project into it and assign MPI address 2.
2.then download the PLC1 project into second PLC CPU and assign MPI address 3.
3.then download the PLC2 project into third PLC CPU and assign MPI address 4.
4.Network all 4 devices (3PLC+PC) with profibus cable with starting and ending terminations on.
5.start simatic manager in PC and check for available nodes..to find nodes 2,3 and 4 (I suppose).
