84 Configure the Adapter for Master/Slave Communication

Full Format

The full format consists of the flags byte and four parameters for each of the eight
slots. The module key parameter is the same for the full format as defined by the
condensed format, but adds three more parameters for each slot.

Use the full format for non EDT I/O modules to:

• provide Safe State values for output points
• send FLEX I/O module configurations once (when you send parameters)

instead of every poll

• configure data sizes to reduce the size of data required during run mode

Use the full format for EDT I/O modules to:

• provide Safe State values for output points
• send FLEX I/O module configurations once (when you send parameters)

instead of every poll

• configure data sizes to reduce the size of data required during run mode
• configure HART variables data to show in the cyclic PROFIBUS data

area.

You must configure all eight slots. The minimum size is 28 bytes – no slots have
FLEX I/O module configuration or safe state data. The maximum size is
237 bytes (the size of the PROFIBUS user parameter area).
