Up to eight parallel connection are possible at the same time. More details at Data Communication via Modbus/TCP with S7-1200 (CE-X22) BR, Hristo Mihalev

If you are online with the PLC, that's 1. If you have an HMI, that's 2. That leaves you 2 for remote tcp connections. I would like it to be a higher number, so hope it's really 8.

The 1200should indeed be able to communicate with up to 8 PAC3200's at the same time as per technical spec of the 1200 manual and THIS FAQ (Modbus on TCP will use the T-Blocks related TCP connection even though the Example does not seem to explicitly state this).
