to an IPC427E and is generally valid for all standard versions and PRO devices in
connection with a SIMATIC IPC.

Note
Possible number of extended versions or PRO devices on a PC
A free USB interface and a free DisplayPort interface of the PC are required for each direct
connection of an extended version or PRO device to a PC. This means that the possible
number of IFPs on a PC is defined by the number of available USB and DisplayPort
interfaces of the PC.
Possible number of PCs on an extended version or a PRO device
As soon as the DisplayPort interface of the extended version or the PRO device is
connected to a PC, no video signals can be transmitted via the RJ45 interface of the IFP.
This means that exactly one PC can be connected to one extended version or one PRO
device.
