Organization of Input Data

The following diagram describes how the Split Point parameter affects
the data in the DF1 Device. The split point represents the last word of
the Master data. Words above the split point are Explicit data.

Organization of Input Data

Input Split Point Example

We need 4 (3.5 data + 0.5 status) words of slave data that the master
will own, and we need to configure an additional 15 words so that
other DeviceNet products can read data.

• Input Size = 19
• Input Split Point = 4
