Scenario 3: The PROFIBUS data fits into two backplane blocks (same PROFIBUS data count
per block)
For this example, we will split the PROFIBUS data evenly within two backplane
blocks, using the following backplane configuration:
For this scenario, each backplane block reserves 50 words for PROFIBUS I/O
data. The configured PROFIBUS I/O size (100 words) will not fit into one block,
so two backplane input blocks and two backplane output blocks will be required.

Note: This configuration would be inefficient and is therefore not recommended. The first example
(Scenario 1) is a more efficient configuration that will accomplish the same thing. This example is
here solely to illustrate how changing the I/O sizes without changing the amount of PROFIBUS
data to be transferred will affect the number of I/O data blocks the module will need to transfer.
