Parameter handling in cyclic communication (DP)
In cyclic PROFIBUS DP communication, parameter data is
transferred in PPO message types 1, 2 and 5 (see Figure 8.). The
Parameter Identification part consists of eight bytes (see 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.
