This is a read-only parameter. The default value Auto allows the Host to control
the data transmission speed of the Profibus network.
Select Disable, DAD Driver, or DPD Driver from the drop-down list. This
implements a reliable transmission protocol between Fieldbus Master (PLC) and
Fieldbus Slave (SC5000 or Scanner Master) allowing specific functions such as
Synchronization, Fragmentation/Reassembling and Data Consistency.
Select Disable or Enable from the drop-down list. This parameter is available only
when the Data Flow Control parameter is set to DAD or DPD Driver. If enabled, it
allows improving the overall communication robustness of the Fieldbus
network.
Enter a node value in the field provided, to define the value that distinguishes this
node from all other nodes on the same link. Each node identifies a device within
the network.
Valid values are in the range 0 - 126.
Node Address 126 forces the SSA (Set Station Address) service which allows the
Fieldbus Master to assign the slave node address.
