These subnets are the most frequently used for S7-300 CPUs, so they are
discussed in detail below.

A segment is a bus link between two terminating resistors. A segment can include
up to 32 nodes. It is also limited by the permitted line length, depending on the
transmission rate.

These maximum transmission rates are possible:
• MPI
– CPU 317-2 DP: 12 Mbps
– All other CPUs: 187.5 Kbps
• PROFIBUS DP: 12 Mbps
• PtP:
– Half duplex: 38.4 Kbps
– Full duplex: 19.2 Kbps
