Andrey, Download and read the following: A5E02171775-02 09/2008 - PCS 7 APACS+ DP/IO Bus Link Module Installation and Operating Manual The APACS+ DP/IO Bus Link module is a hardware and software interface between APACS I/O modules and Siemens S7 417HT CPU controllers. The APACS+ DP/IO Bus Link module is a drop-in replacement for APACS controllers, enabling customers to retain the value of existing I/O and field wiring while migrating proven hardware and control strategies to state-of-the-art controllers and HMI (human-machine interface). Section 2.2 shows the Illustration of System Components in a Typical Configuration. It shows Peer to Peer redundant options, which seems to be your application description. Good Luck! Tom |

Dear Thomas, Thank you for your answer. I read the document, you were talking about. Doesn't it describe APACS systems only? I also read SIMATIC PCS 7 QUADLOG DP/IO Bus Link Module Installation and Operating Manual Section 2.3 I found out that unfortunately peer-to-peer communication was not supported. |
