Siemens CPU 948 - How the Transmitter and Receiver Are Identified

The data block in the receiving CPU can be longer or shorter than the
data block to be sent. It is, however, important that the data words
transferred by the SEND function exist in the receiving block;
otherwise the RECEIVE function signals an error.
Example:
10.2.2
How the Transmitter and
Receiver are Identified
Each field of data exchanged between the CPUs is marked with a
number to indicate the source and destination CPU.
The CPUs are numbered so that the leftmost CPU has the number 1
and each subsequent CPU to the right has a number increased by 1.
Example
S5-135U/155U:
