On Models with the PROFIBUS-DP Interface (/CP1 option)
On models with the PROFIBUS-DP interface (/CP1 option), the communication input
data for C01 to C24 (on the DX1000) or for C01 to C32 (on the DX2000) is reserved
for PROFIBUS-DP. Because of this, the following limitations apply to EtherNet/IP
communications.
Limitations on Explicit Messages
Youcannotwritevaluestotheseregisters(butyoucanreadtheirvalues).
I/O Message Limitations
YoucannotuseinstanceID130or135.
