5.1.8 Direct Data Exchange
5.1.8.1 Principle of direct data exchange
Overview
Direct data exchange is characterized by PROFIBUS DP nodes which "listen" on the bus
and know which data a DP slave returns to its DP master.
This mechanism allows the "listening node" (recipient) direct access to deltas of input data of
remote DP slaves.
In your STEP 7 configuration, define the address area of the recipient in which the required
data of the publisher will be read, based on the peripheral input addresses.
A CPU 41x can be:
● DP slave sending station
● as DP slave or DP master or as CPU that is not linked into a master system
(see Fig. 3-9).
Example:
The following figure uses an example to explain which direct data exchange "relations" you
can configure. All the DP masters and DP slaves in the figure are 41x CPUs. Note that other
DP slaves (ET 200M, ET 200X, ET 200S) can only be senders.
