5.3.4 Connections Without Assignment
Overview
This section explains the actions that can lead to a configured connection losing its
assignment to the CP or being deleted.
Caution
Remember that in contrast to the S7 connections, the connections of the
SEND/RECEIVE interface are assigned a CP-dependent ID. The actions below
may require the ID to be modified so that the interface information in the user
program must also be adapted.
Notice
If you replace one CP with another, this must provide at least the same services
and have at least the same version. This is the only way to ensure that the
connections configured over the CP remain consistent and can be used.
