Note
The adapter and the S7/M7/C7 system each represent a network node.
In networks consisting of two nodes (adapter and S7/M7/C7 system), the
•
adapter is connected directly to the socket of the S7/M7/C7 system.
When the network contains more than two nodes, the adapter should be
•
connected to the "PG socket" of a PROFIBUS connector (SINEC L2 bus
connector). You do not need to change the settings of the terminating resistors.

Do not connect the SIMATIC PC Adapter USB to the automation system with any
other cable than the supplied MPI cable.
