Input/Output size
 When DL-PD1 is in the monitor mode
The input/output size changes according to the number of sensor amplifiers connected.
Assign the "DL-PD1" and each sensor amplifier to the PROFIBUS DP system on the
hardware configuration using the configuration software of PROFIBUS DP.
* How many sensor amplifiers can be connected depends on the sensor amplifiers to
be connected. For specific numbers of connections, refer to the manual of each
sensor amplifier.
 When DL-PD1 is in the I/O mode
The input/output size is fixed regardless of the number of sensor amplifiers connected.
Assign the "DL-PD1 without sensor amplifier" to the PROFIBUS DP system on the
hardware configuration using the configuration software of PROFIBUS DP.
