Amit_Mehta Posts: 5 Rating: (0)	Hi.. Iwant to use more than one PLC to control the TP/MP. Iwill be using S7 300 and S7 400 Plc's. Both are not in any form of Master Slave connection but are included in the same S7 project in the Simatic manager where i will have my Toch Panel included. Iwill be using WinCC flexible for Programming the Touch Panel/Multi panel CanMore then1 PLCact as controllers of the Touch panel/ Multi Panel? If yes then what should be the communication protocol (profibus or ethernet or it can be any 1)? Thanks!!!!

The following FAQ lists the Siemens panels, and the number of connections available. http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/15363798 You must establish a connection to each controller inside the communictaions tab of WinCC Flexible. Hope this helps, Daniel Chartier
