C79000-G7076-C233-01
Switch 4 of the PC/PPI cable tells the S7-200 CPU to use either a 10-bit protocol
or the normal 11-bit PPI protocol. This switch setting has no use if the CPU is not
connected to STEP 7-Micro/WIN 32 and should be left in the 11-bit setting for
proper operation with other devices.
