Routing to Distribute Load
If more than one CP of the same type exists in a station and is connected to the
same subnet, the route can be selected.
Click the “Route” button in the “General” tab to display the route dialog:
If you have configured a load distribution on two or more Ethernet CPs at the local
or remote end, you can assign the connection to the required route via the CP.
Parameter Description
Via CP / Local If more than one Ethernet CP exists in the station via which connections operated you
can select route here.
The CPs are only displayed for selection if they are networked.
If no CP is assigned (for example because the CP was deleted previously) “(None)” is
displayed here.
If there is only one CP plugged into the station, no selection is possible.
Via CP /
Partner
(remote) Depending on the local selection, the possible remote CPs are displayed. All the CPs
connected to the same subnet (networked) and the local CP can be selected.
Alternatives are only available when a connection is established to a remote station
configured in the same project and the remote station has two or more CPs.
If there is no CP assigned on the partner (for example because the CP was deleted
previously) “None” is displayed here.
If there is only one CP in the remote station, no selection is possible.
If the partner is an “other station” or SIMATIC S5 PLC, one or more attachments are
displayed for selection depending on the configuration and networking of the station.
