Communication protocol 137
Parameter handling in cyclic communication (DP)
In cyclic PROFIBUS DP communication, parameter data is
transferred in PPO message types 1, 2 and 5, as shown in section
PPO types on page 135. The parameter identification part consists
of eight bytes, as shown below.
The Request label is used by the master when transmitting data to
the slave, while the Response label is used by the slave as a
positive or negative acknowledgement. The tables below show the
Request/Response functions.
