Configuration
Functionality
The Y-Link creates a gateway from the redundant DP master system of an S7-400H to a non-
redundant DP master system. This enables devices with only one PROFIBUS DP interface to
be connected to a redundant DP master system as switched I/O.
DPV1 slaves can be connected downstream from the Y-Link in addition to the standard
PROFIBUS DP slaves.
Y-Link with integrated repeater can forward diagnostic requests from the corresponding
function modules or input/output modules to the CPU.
