(I already asked this question, but in wrong area of forum I think)

Hello

I have a question about this communication card. I have existing system with this card which is connected to CP 343-1 (directly - there is more nodes in the network).

There is going on a IE ISO communication (AG_SEND, AG_RECEIVE)  with 2 PLCs.

I need to add to CP433-1 advanced a PROFINET network with 2 PROFINET devices, the question is - will it work? Or there will be some conflict or troubles with performance?

We want to avoid adding another CP card if we can...

Hi,

it will work in principle but check,Requirements for use in the following manual. On chapter 3 you will find requirements and CPUs that support operation of the CP as a PROFINET IO controller.

SIMATIC NET S7-400 - Industrial Ethernet CP 443-1 Advanced (GX30) - Manual Part B
