The only possibility for the S7-300 would havebeen to use an IM 308C in the S5 racks and turn them inoto Profibus-DP slave nodes. However this solution is less and less available, the S5 line is discontinued and it is getting very difficult to get your hands on a working IM 308C. Hope this helps, Daniel Chartier

But you can use (temporary) adapter to connect the S5 front connector to S7 module.

Note that you will be limited to usage of standard I/O cards in the S5 racks (e.g. you can NOT useFM's, CP's, IP's etc.), but I hope this helps anyhow.
