6.1 Festo Parameter Channel (FPC)
The FPC is used for transmitting parameters. The PLC sends
a request to the CMAX consisting of a parameter number,
a subindex, a value and a task identifier. The CMAX responds
with the PN U, the subindex, the value and a response
identifier. This process takes several bus cycles.
