Configuring Your ASCII Module 2-19
Setting Up the Scanner I/O Receive Size
The ASCII modules automatically calculate the number of bytes it will
send to the DeviceNet master. Its value is determined by a
combination of the incoming data and the options you have selected.
Parameter 13 defines the size of the DeviceNet message to be sent by
the ASCII module to the master.
