DNI Configuration Parameters and Programming Notes
I/O Scan Enable
This parameter enables the DNI to scan/exchange I/O data with DF1
devices. If the DNI is being used in an application that does not use this
feature, disabling this parameter improves the DNI’s messaging
performance. When this parameter is disabled, PCCC messaging still
operates.
