Hi I am using CPU 312 and i want make MPI network with maximum 14 stations ...Consist of 9 CPU 3 OP and one PC.. Is there limitation in the MPI stations in the CPU's ? in the technical specifications of CPU 3xx , page 308 .... Maximum number of connections for CPU 312 mentioned 6 . What that means? can i work with the 312 or i have to replace that with 315 for example? thanks for answer kind regard |

Hello Amir; MPI networks allow up to 31 nodes in the single (allowed) segment, max. 50 m. at 187,5 kB. This only takes one connection. Now for the distribution of the 6 available connections shown on page 308 of your manual, you should go to page 309 (see attachment): there are a maximum of 5 OP connections in the CPU 312, and to use them all you need to remove others in the CPU properties (in HWConfig). So you cannot do your project with the CPU you have planned. You could look up the details of available connections in the manual you are looking in, or use the dfollowi ng FAQ that condenses the answers you are looking for (remember these are configurable connections, so you must select them in the CPU properties): What is the maximum number of OPs that a CPU S7-300 can communicate with? https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/299124 Hope this helps, Daniel Chartier |

Thank you Mr. Chartier ....is this limitation for the active communication or not? ...Please let me explain my network ....it consist of three separated machine each machine has three CPU and one OP and no any communication between machines . but i want connect this three separated network together for monitoring them by PC with Wincc program .can i do this or may i face some errors? Thank you for anser |

Hello Amir; to connect all the CPUs in a single MPI network, the easiest way is to bring them all into a single project; you can copy/paste of drag/drop the different CPU progrms into a new project if you like. However, you will probably have to readdress every MPI node as they probably have some overlap in their different projects. Examine every CPU, CP, FM and connection as you drag them to the new project, Step 7 will let you know about conflicting addressing.Make sure that every MPI address is unique in the complete network before you compile everything and download the projects to the CPU. Hope this helps, Daniel Chartier |
