Routing
10.4 Data record routing
Example: Data record routing with the Port Configuration Tool (PCT)
You can use the Port Configuration Tool (PCT) to configure the IO link master of the ET200
and assign parameters to connected IO link devices. The subnets are connected via data
record routers. Data record routers are, for example, CPUs, CPs, IMs, IO link master.
You can learn about the constellations of data record routers supported by the PCT in this
FAQ (http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/87611392).
The figure below shows an example configuration with the data record routing with PCT.
