Direct Communication With The Im151-1 High Feature - Siemens SIMATIC ET 200S Manual

3.6 Direct communication
Requirements
• The ET 200S can be used as the sender (publisher) for direct communication.
• The DP master being used must, of course, also support direct communication.
You will find information on this in the description of the DP master.
Principle
Direct communication is characterized by the fact that PROFIBUS-DP nodes
monitor the data sent back by a DP slave to its DP master.
By means of this mechanism the monitoring node (recipient/subscriber) can
directly access changes to the input data of remote DP slaves.
During configuration in STEP 7 you specify by means of the relevant I/O input
addresses the address area of the recipient in which the data of the sender is to be
placed.
Example
Figure 3-5 gives an example of the direct-communication relationships you can
configure with an ET 200S as the sender and which nodes as possible recipients
can monitor data sent back by DP slaves to the DP master.
