In the input address area, DP diagnostic addresses occupy 1 byte for the DP
master and for each DP slave. Under these addresses, for example, you can call
DP standard diagnostics for the respective nodes (LADDR parameter of SFC13).
The DP diagnostic addresses are specified during configuration. If you do not
specify any DP diagnostic addresses, STEP 7 assigns these addresses, in
decrements starting at the highest byte.
Configuring modules with addresses assigned to the peripheral area
Always configure a module address in a peripheral area either completely inside or
completely outside of the process image. Otherwise, consistency is not ensured
and corrupted data might be generated.
