Without Mailbox Messaging and With Slave Diagnostics 
  Mailbox Messaging = N 
  Slave Diagnostics = Y 
Input Data Block from Module to Processor (1219 Words Maximum) 
Word Offset 
Description 
0 to 72 
Configuration and status data 
73 to 450 
Incoming slave 6-byte diagnostics data for 126 slaves (378 
words of data for slaves 0 to 125). Refer to Standard 
PROFIBUS Slave Diagnostic Bytes (page 241). 
451 to n 
PROFIBUS Input Data: Data received from the PROFIBUS 
slave devices on the network 
Total size of the PROFIBUS Input Data block is a function of 
the PROFIBUS network configuration. Maximum size is 1536 
bytes (768 words). 
n is a function of the user-selected size of the PROFIBUS Input 
Data block. 
Output Data Block from Processor to Module (774 Words Maximum) 
Word Offset 
Description 
0 
Set Operating Mode (New) 
Bit 15= Handshake (if equal to Input Word 72 Bit 15, then 
module has control of word and if not, then module has 
processed request) 
Bits 8-14= Reserved for future use 
Bits 0-7 contain the operation code: 
0x40= Stop 
0x80= Clear 
0xC0= Operate 
1 
Reserved 
2 to 3 
PROFIBUS CRC32: computed for PROFIBUS configuration 
4 to 5 
Module CRC32: computed for module data 
When the module first starts up or recognizes an initialization of 
the processor, it will compare the values of the two CRCs in the 
input and output images. If either one of the CRCs does not 
match, the module will be placed in STOP mode. If each set 
matches, the module will be placed in OPERATE mode. 
6 to n 
PROFIBUS Output Data: Data going to the PROFIBUS 
network 
Total size of the PROFIBUS Output Data block is a function of 
the PROFIBUS network configuration. Maximum size is 1536 
bytes (768 words). 
n is a function of the user-selected size of the PROFIBUS 
Output Data block.
