How do you connect the SIMATIC Field PG to the bus system to parameterize and diagnose the distributed I/O devices?

Part number:

Configuration Notes
From STEP 7 V5.4 SP2 onwards, STEP 7-external tools (Device Tools) are integrated for parameterizing and diagnosing distributed I/O devices via the Tool Calling Interface (TCI) in STEP 7. The following distributed devices are concerned:

PROFIBUS DP V1 Slave
PROFINET IO devices

Requirements

The device tool must support the TCI specification. TCI is a calling interface specified by PROFIBUS & PROFINET International (PI). You can use the TCI calling interface to transfer configuration from the Engineering Tool to the Device Tool.
The device tool and STEP 7 have to be installed on the same computer.

You have the following options for connecting the SIMATIC Field PG to the bus system to parameterize and diagnose the distributed I/O devices via the TCI calling interface.

SIMATIC Field PG is connected to the same bus system as the distributed I/O devices

Fig. 01: SIMATIC Field PG and distributed I/O devices in the same bus system

SIMATIC Field PG is not connected to the same bus system as the distributed I/O devices
It is possible to parameterize and diagnose the distributed I/O devices from a different bus system via the TCI calling interface.
Here you need a data record gateway. The modules below support the data record routing function and can thus be implemented as data record gateway.
