The document discusses communication between S7-300/400 programmable logic controllers (PLCs) via MPI (Multi Point Interface). It describes how PLCs can be connected via MPI to exchange data using global data tables. The process for configuring global data communication involves creating hardware stations, assigning MPI addresses, defining the global data table, compiling the configuration, and downloading it to the PLCs. Status information about global data transfer is stored in diagnostic bytes.
