D.3 Structure of the Configuration Message in Simple Configuration
The configuration message consists of 20 bytes and must have the structure
shown in Table D-5. The type and length of the I/O area used are encoded in
bytes 15 to 17.

In byte 15, specify an ID for the type of I/O being used (inputs only, outputs
only or inputs and outputs connected).
In bytes 16 and 17, specify the length ID for the input and output areas being
used. The length IDs are determined by the slaves having the highest ASi
addresses. Make sure that precisely one nibble is assigned to every ASi slave
(refer to summary in Table D-6).

The Configuration Message Must Contain:
Inputs and outputs in byte 15, the ID C2
H
in byte 16, the length ID for the outputs
in byte 17, the length ID for the inputs
Inputs only in byte 15, the ID 43
H
in byte 16, the length ID for the inputs
in byte 17, the ID 00
H
Outputs only in byte 15, the ID 83

in byte 16, the length ID for the outputs
in byte 17, the ID 00

The length ID is calculated from the following formula:
Length ID = Length of I/O area being used in byte – 1
