Gateway
The gateway from one subnetwork to one or more other subnetworks lies in a
SIMATIC station that has interfaces to the respective subnetworks. Thus, in the
diagram below, the CPU 31xC-2 DP acts as a router between subnetwork 1 and
subnetwork 2.

PROFIBUS-DP
network)
Figure 8-8 Routing gateway
Prerequisites
The modules of the station are “capable of routing” (CPUs or CPs).
The network configuration does not extend beyond the project boundaries.
The modules have loaded in them the configuration information that contains
the current “knowledge” on the entire network configuration of the project.
Reason: All modules that participate in the gateway must contain information on
which subnetworks can be reached along which routes (= routing information).
The PD/PC with which you wish to establish a connection via a gateway must
be assigned in the network configuration to the network to which it is actually
physically connected.
The CPU must be configured as a master.
If the CPU is configured as a slave, the Commissioning/Test Mode functionality
must be activated in the DP interface properties for the DP slave in STEP 7.
