- High plant availability thanks to
- stable and constant data communication by means of protocol processing on the CP
- Optional: redundant communication via intelligent CPs combined with high-availability software package (S7-REDCONNECT)
- IT cost savings (e.g. no additional computer) and use of free computer capacity for further applications since the intelligent CPs facilitate large quantity structures and enable the workload of the host CPU to be reduced
- Simple access to automation/diagnostic data via SNMP and OPC as standard interface
- Easy and cost-efficient commissioning due to plug & play technology
- Connection of additional field devices to the Industrial Ethernet by means of an additional switch port
- Switch operation possible via external power supply even with PC turned off
