MPI/PROFIBUS-DP Addresses
In order for all nodes to be able to communicate with one another, you must assign
them an address:
• In the MPI network, an MPI address
• A PROFIBUS-DP address in the PROFIBUS-DP network
Default MPI Addresses
The following table shows the default MPI address and the max. MPI address with
which the devices are shipped:
Node (Device) Default MPI Address Default Highest MPI
Address
Programming device 0 31
OP 1 31
CPU 2 31
Note
If you change the parameter assignment of the highest MPI address of the MPI/DP
interface, the new address remains set even after memory reset, voltage failure or
removing/inserting the CPU.
