He wants me to ha ve the S7-400 H system to communicate and fetch the data from the ET 200 S system. What is the procedure that needs to be followed to have the same achieved? The implementation will take place in the near future, so I'd like to be well informed about the procedure. I do not, at present, have any extra card(CP341 or Y module) fixed in the panel. Will that hinder the procedure? Plese let me know soon. Thanks in advance.

The client is planning to use an IM CPU(IM 151-7).Along with the hardware configuration, can you please give me the details of the blocks that need to be included in the program for communication to be established. Thanks in advance, Grim Reaper

You can configure theIM151-7 CPU as DP slave after a Y Link in your H system as described in thisFAQ. (The FAQ is for a 300 CPU, but there isn't much difference when it comes to IM151-7). However, that would mean that integrated MPI/DP interface is free. Use Serial interface CPs both in the ET200S system and S7400H station. Maybe someone has a better solution.
