Communication between 2cpu's!... One with cp343-1 lean...

[alansal]

Hello Everyone....

My question is i have 2 cpu's...

cpu-1 : 317-2EK13-0AB0 (ver2.6) with a cp343-1 (343-1EX30-0XE0 ver2.0) (also in comm with 16 other cpus and staff...)

cpu-2 : 317-2AJ10-0AB0 (ver2.1) (also in comm with 12 other cpu's via another cp343-1 and staff)

These two have definitely different plc projects but i need them to talk...

I will connect cpu-1 to cpu-2 via a f.o. cable and converter to add to ethernet tree of cpu-1... i only have a cp343-1 lean (343-1CX00-0XE0) so i am planning to;

1) install cp343-1 lean to cpu-2
2) edit both projects to add other cpu's

cpu-1->cp343-1->ethernet->eth.to f.o. converter->......->f.o. to eth. converter->cp343-1 lean->cpu-2

in project of cpu-1's netpro i could add cpu-2 as communication partner (S7 connection and it seems as an active partner)
also in project of cpu-2's netpro i could add cpu-1 as communication partner (S7 connection and it seems as an active partner)

the problem is i didn't download the projects because i am not sure if this will work (to be able to use send/recieve to send datas between them)
can you please advice if this can work or not?

Thanks in advance....
