Number of panels on CPU317-2 PN/DP

Hi,

I have a dilemma on how many Basic or Comfort panels can be connected to CPU317-2 PN/DP.

There is a specification for resources saying, 32 resources:

 On the other hand, sometimes, one Comfort or Basic HMI can take 2 connection resources for it's work. On the third hand, my experience says 1 OP/HMI counts 1 connection resource for CPU 3xx.

So, can i connect 32 HMI panels to 317 (no other connections will use its resources).

Can someone help, please?

What is the maximum number of OPs that a CPU S7-300 can communicate with?

Do not forget about PG connection's etc...

Hi,

I know about the link, I quoted it, but that does not answer my question, how many connections are occupied by which panel? We need two variables to solve the equation, and there is only one in the link.

Best regards,
