Parameters in Cyclic
Communication (DP)
In cyclic PROFIBUS-DP communication, parameter data is transferred
in PPO message types 1, 2 and 5 (see Figure 6-1). The Parameter
Identification part consists of eight bytes (see below).
The Request Label is used by the master when transmitting data to the
slave, while the Response Label is used by the slave as a positive or
negative acknowledgement. The tables below show the Request/
Response functions.
