Notice
Please remember the following points regarding data consistency in your user pro-
gram:
In the CPU of the S7 station, the read or written information is taken from the S7
user program into the operating system or copied from the operating system to the
S7 user program in blocks of 8 or 32 bytes (depending on the firmware version).
If information in the word or double-word format is located across such bounda-
ries, data inconsistency may arise during transmission using S7 communication!
For more detailed information, refer to the STEP 7 documentation /9/.
