Is it possible to maintain the same subnet in bowth ports X1 and X2?

Hello,

Thanks for the replies. That was helpful.

One other question -- lets say I use a PN/PN coupler -- and I have 2 subnets.  Lets say Subnet 1 has a PLC and subnet 2 has a Siemens AC Drive.  Is it possible for the PLC in Subnet 1 to be the master of the AC Drive in subnet 2 with Profinet communication enabled by the PN/PN coupler?

Thanks.

 Hello,

no this is not possible.

 If we have all the netload over only one port in PLC 1518F-4, in ths case is over interface 1, where you have able 2 ports but we are only using 1 port, so we want to reduse the netload, and a possible solution is to distribute the data traffic in a second port, but for this in TIA Portal you should change the subnet of the port, is possible to maintain the same subnet in bowth ports X1 and X2.

In interface X1 both ports works over the same network card?, is there any technical product guide that describe this network features (Profinet) for 1518 PLC family.

Thanks for your support!

Hello,

X1 and X2 are different Interfaces and can not used in the same subnet.

X1 is a 2port interface with integrated Switch, here both Ports are on the same network.
