– Input area of the DP master in total: Max. 512 bytes
– Output area of the DP master in total: Max. 512 bytes
– Input area per DP slave: Max. 244 bytes
– Output area per DP slave: Max. 244 bytes

NOTICE
* Maximum 16 DP slaves per station
)
For the constellation STEP 7 V11.0 and CPU firmware V2.0, resources are available
for a maximum 16 DP slaves in total per station.
If you plug in a master module (CM 1243-5) and 1 or 2 slave modules (CM 1242-5) in
a station at the same time, the maximum number of slaves that can be operated with
the CM 1243-5 reduces by the CM 1242-5 modules plugged into the same station.
The number of DP slaves that can be operated with the DP master is therefore
reduced to 15 or 14.
Of which maximum:
– Configured connections for PUT/GET services: 4
– PG connections: 1
– OP connections: 3
– PUT: Max. 209 bytes
– GET: Max. 222 bytes
