Hello sukhol; The native network for the S7-200 is PPI, which is based on the RS-485 standard , so it is quite easy to find cable for it (shielded twisted pair or Profibus cable and connectors). The functions are easy to program (in the latest versions of Microwin there is even a Wizrd to help configure the network parameters). See the following FAQ, study the links provided: How is data exchanged between two SIMATIC S7-200 devices in PPI mode? https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/370000 We have used it in many S7-200 projects for exactly such applications, or to share the program functions between 2 CPUs when the processing power of the first CPU was exceeded. Hope this helps, Daniel Chartier |
