Organization of Output 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.
Output Data Organization
Output 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 write data.
• Output Size = 19
• Output Split Point = 4
