Configuration - PROFINET maximum configuration
Each of the connections for ET-Connection occupies a slot in the configuration. The slots for
ET-Connection1 and ET-Connection2 are specified statically in the PROFINET GSD file.
ET-Connection1 is permanently on slot 1 and ET-Connection2 on slot 18.
The fixed slot assignment of ET-Connection1 and ET-Connection2 offers you the following
advantages:
● You can expand ET-Connection1 and ET-Connection2 without a high workload
● Transparency in configuration control
● Simplification of diagnostics alarms and troubleshooting
