The channel is not used for the DNP3 protocol.
Channel "LocalParameterInput"
Channel type: Data send
Function: Local parameter input
Local active parameters can be returned to the send block via "LocalParameterInput". The
data area corresponds to the data area set for "ParameterOutput" of the same object.
If you do not require the parameter, leave it disabled.
Channel "ParameterOutput"
Channel type: Setpoint receive
Function: Parameter output
The parameters sent by the partner object or entered locally at "LocalParameterInput" are
output at "ParameterOutput".
The data area can vary in length between 1 and 12 double words. The content of each
double word must be a value in DWORD format.
The number of required double words, in other words the size of the data field is configured
in the Number input box.
The parameter decides the size of the data field in double words.
Note
Reducing network load
The "Number" parameter decides the size of the data
field. By reducing the maximum size,
the message length can be reduced to the actually required length if the entire data range of
the object is not required. This saves transmission time.
Configuring MODBUS communication
Differences in the configuration of MODBUS communication
Since MODBUS slaves are not SIMATIC devices or stations they are not configured as
stations in STEP 7 nor are they configured as destination subscribers. Connections to
MODBUS slaves are therefore also not configured in the connection configuration.
