To PF data length is the total length of the data string send from the PLC to PF. The length
must be the same as defined in the PLC. Because swap bytes are needed for some fieldbus
types, only even numbers should be programmed (2, 4, 8, 10, etc.). Data length should be a
number higher than zero.
The maximum length that can be programmed is different for each fieldbus type.
If InterBus is used, PF has to be restarted when the data length is changed.
From PF global
data length
From PF global data length is the length of sending broadcast data to the network. This is a
special function for ModBusPlus, not available for other fieldbus types. If only point-to-point
data is transferred, set this parameter to zero.
From PF data length - From PF global data length = From PF point-to-point
data length (which is only available in ModBusPlus).
To PF global data length is the length of receiving broadcast data from the network. This is a
special function for ModBusPlus, not available for other fieldbus type. Max length = 64
bytes. If only point-to-point data is received, set this parameter to zero.
To PF data length - To PF global data length = To PF point-to-point data
length (which is only available in ModBusPlus).
The FL-net memory area 2 for cyclic data transfer is 8192 words. This area is shared by all
nodes in the network. Each node configures the part of the area it will update. "From PF data
offset" is the start address for data from PF.

Set node address
and baud rate
from
Some buses can use a SW-configured node address and baud rate. This parameter has two
selections:
Software: Makes it possible to program node address and baud rate from user interface.
Hardware: Node address and baud rate is configured with the switches on the fieldbus card.
Normally the switches on the fieldbus card must be set in a specific way to
enable these parameters from ToolsTalk PF.
This parameter specifies the network ID number used in the fieldbus system. Two controllers
in the same fieldbus network cannot have the same node address.
Valid for DeviceNet (0-63).
Communication speed on the fieldbus system.
The baud rate shall be the same in all PF units and in the PLC.
This parameter manages the way the fieldbus system detects changes of data on the different
controllers. Some fieldbus types have the possibility to set different connection modes.
There are three modes; polled, bit strobe and change of state.
The settings in PF and the PLC must be the same.
