Setting the interface on the computer

Use the interface settings of the project (SIMATIC PCS 7 or SIMATIC STEP 7).
The following interface types are used in SIMATIC PCS 7 and SIMATIC STEP 7:
● PROFIBUS DP interface
● Ethernet interface
● COM interface
Alternative communication channels in the case of redundant S7-400 stations
If SIMATIC PDM signals a connection failure due to a fault in the communication channel, an
attempt is made to automatically establish a connection using the redundant S7-400 station
via an alternative communication channel.
