Hello Kurt; You will have to get used to the specific language used by Profinet networks: an IO controller (~ master) communicates with one or more IO devices (~ slaves). And yes, the S7-1200 PLCs can act as IO controller to 8 Io devices. It can also act as IO device to an IO controller. When the IO controller is a S7 PLC, then the S7-1200 is called an i-device: https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/109478798 Hope this helps, |
