Description
Routing is the transfer of data beyond network boundaries. In this case you can send data from a sender to a receiver over various networks. For this you need special device technology that provides this functionality.
Data Record Routing is an extension of "normal routing" and is used for drives, for example and by SIMATIC PDM when the programming device is not connected directly to the PROFIBUS DP subnet to which the target device is also connected, but to the PROFINET interface of the CPU, for example.
The data sent with data record routing includes the parameter assignment of the field devices participating (slaves) and also device-specific information (setpoint values and limit values, for example). In data record routing, the structure of the target address depends on the data content, that is on the slave for which the data is destined.
With the PG you can use data record routing to read and edit a parameter record already on the field device or send it to the field device if the PG is already assigned as target slave to another subnet.
The field devices themselves do not have to support data record routing, because these devices do not forward the information content.
The following S7-300 CPUs and components of distributed IO devices support data record routing:

Confusion may arise in the following situations:
A network engineer uses a new module whose factory-set MAC address has the manufacturer ID 00-0E-8C or 00-1B-1B. From older modules he is used to factory-set MAC addresses having the manufacturer ID 08-00-06. Therefore he will look for a MAC address 08-00-06-xx-yy-zz which, however, he will not find.
Spare parts scenario: A module with a factory-set MAC address of 08-00-06-xx-yy-zz is defective and has to be replaced with a new module. It might be that the factory-set MAC address of the new module has the manufacturer ID 00-0E-8C or 00-1B-1B.
What are the requirements for operating the DP/ASi-Link Advanced as DP master on a CP 443-5 Extended?
Configuration Notes: The following requirements must be fulfilled to operate the DP/ASi-Link Advanced (6GK1415-2BA10 or 6GK1415-2BA20) on a CP 443-5 Extended (6GK7 443-5DX03-0XE0) or CP 443-5 Extended (6GK7 443-5DX04-0XE0).
Configuration Notes: With the extended PROFINET diagnostics it is possible to have functions like the diagnostics and parameterization of integrated Ethernet interfaces (e.g. fiber-optic diagnostics and topology configuration). The PROFINET IO-Devices that support extended PROFINET diagnostics are configured in the Hardware Configuration in STEP 7. They are available in the hardware catalog and have additional ports e.g. interface modules as subslots in Slot 0.

What are the requirements for using the S7 routing function and which modules can you implement?
Description From STEP 7 V5.0 SP3 HF3 onwards you can reach ST stations online over and beyond subnet limits with the PG/PC, in order, for example, to load user programs or a hardware configuration or in order to execute test and diagnostic functions. You can connect a PG/PC at any place within the network and connect online to any stations which are reached through gateways.
Gateway
The gateway from a subnet to one or more other subnets is in a SIMATIC station that has interfaces to the subnets concerned.
Requirements
At least STEP 7 V5.0 SP3 HF3 is installed on the PG/PC for configuration and use of the S7 routing function.
An interface (Industrial Ethernet or PROFIBUS PC CP) is installed in the PG/PC to establish a connection to the gateway. You can use PROFIBUS PC CPs 55xx and 56xx. You can use any NDIS-compatible Ethernet network card (3COM, CP1613, for example) as Industrial Ethernet interface in the PG/PC.
The associated communications modules of the station support the S7 routing function.
The network configuration does not go across project boundaries.
Both the modules and the PG or PC are loaded with the configuration information that contains the latest "knowledge" about the complete network configuration of the project. Technical background All the modules associated with the gateway must receive information about which subnets can be reached over which routes (= routing information).
Note The lists below have been updated with the modules of the hardware catalog of STEP 7 V5.4 SP2. This means that older modules which support the S7 routing function are listed in the tables, but are not necessarily included in the hardware catalog of the latest versions of STEP 7.

Description PROFIBUS PA master systems are connected to a PROFIBUS DP master system with a DP/PA link.
The DP/PA link comprises one or two IM153-2 interface modules and between one and a maximum of five DP/PA couplers.
The DP/PA link is connected to the PROFIBUS-DP master system by way of the interface module. If you use two interface modules in the DP/PA link, you can connect the DP/PA link to a redundant PROFIBUS DP master system. The lower-level PROFIBUS PA field devices are connected to the DP/PA link by way of the DP/PA coupler, which means that
the DP/PA link creates a gateway from a PROFIBUS DP master system to a PROFIBUS PA master system.
Fig. 01
How the DP/PA link functions
The DP/PA link is a DP slave on the higher-level DP master and acts as a proxy for the stations (PA field devices) which are connected to the lower-level bus system.
The DP/PA link forms an independent, lower-level bus system which is decoupled from the higher-level DP master system for communications technology reasons.
Multiple DP/PA couplers are used to increase the current carrying capacity of the PA master system.
All the DP/PA couplers of a DP7PA link form a shared bus system with the PA field devices which are connected.
Use a DP/PA link if you require a transmission rate greater than 45.45 Kbaud on PROFIBUS DP. The DP/PA link resets the higher transmission rate of PROFIBUS DP on its backplane bus module to 45.45 Kbaud and passes it on to the DP/PA coupler. You only configure the interface module of the DP/PA link. You do not configure the DP/PA coupler.
How the DP/PA coupler functions The DP/PA coupler is a physical link between PROFIBUS DP and PROFIBUS PA.
The DP/PA coupler can be operated in standalone mode without any further components. This enables the PROFIBUS PA field devices to be addressed by way of PROFIBUS DP.
The DP/PA coupler is used in standalone mode if PROFIBUS DP supports 45.45 Kbaud and this is a permissible and adequate transmission rate. In this case, the DP/PA coupler is not configured, but connected to the PROFIBUS DP master. The PROFIBUS PA field devices are configured directly on the PROFIBUS DP.
Note Generally, the DP/PA coupler is not configured, but only the interface module of the DP/PA link. The exception is the DP/PA coupler FDC157-0 (order number 6ES7157-0AC83-0XA0). In standalone mode, the DP/PA coupler FDC157-0 is configured directly on the PROFIBUS, as are its PROFIBUS PA field devices. If the DP/PA coupler FDC157-0 is operated on a DP/PA link, it is configured on the PROFIBUS PA. Configuring the DP/PA coupler FDC157-0 improves diagnostics.
Use of a DP/PA coupler pair and active field splitters facilitates redundant operation on a PROFIBUS PA master system in two variants:
Ring redundancy using the active field distributor (AFD)
Coupler redundancy using the active field splitter (AFS)
The "DP/PA Coupler, DP/PA Link and Y Link" manual provides detailed information about the separate components of the DP/PA link and about how to commission the DP/PA link. The manual is available for downloading in Entry ID 1142696.

QUESTION: What should I watch out for when transferring data via the
DP/DP coupler when the data is supposed to be transferred in just
one direction?
ANSWER:
The configured DP/DP coupler with order number 6ES7 158 0AD00 0XA0,
product release B4, behaves as follows:
If data is transferred with the DP/DP coupler in just one direction
(e.g. DP1 to DP2), then the status display of the slave, on which
only inputs are configured (in the example DP2), is not set. The
diagnostics of the slave, on which only outputs are configured (in
the example DP1), displays invalid data and "Extended
Diagnostics".
Cause: This is because the DP/DP coupler internally uses writing of
the output data for generating the data validity display and the
status display. This is why if there is no data written (in the
example DP2), the data on the other slave is not set to "valid" and
the LED (in the example of DP1) stays off.
Remedy: You have the following options:
Configure at least one output byte on each slave. This way,
from the validity of the input data of each slave, you can
recognize the functioning of the other master in each case.
Discard the data validity information in the diagnostics of the
slave on which only outputs are configured and then disable the
generation of "Extended Diagnostics" on that slave (in the example
DP1).
Note:
The "Extended Diagnostics" ("EXTended DIAGnostics" = disabled) of
the DP/DP coupler can be disabled.
