Instruction Manual

CompactBlock Distributed I/O on PROFIBUS DP Series D 17
Publication
1791P-IN002B-EN-P - October 2003
Refer to the following table for baud rate specifications.
The module produces 1 byte for every 8 inputs. Similarly, the module
consumes 1 byte for every 8 outputs.
Remember, though, when configuring your CompactBlock I/O application,
these values are entered as bytes received (R
x
) and bytes transmitted (T
x
) by
the scanner.
For example, a Base Input module produces 2 bytes and consumes 0 bytes. In
such a case, the scanner connected to the Base Input module will receive (R
x
)
2 bytes and transmit (T
x
) 0 bytes.
