Data interpretation
Module 13 "fieldbus data PLC output" contains output data from the controllerE PLC's point of
view, i.e. data transmitted by the controllerE e.g. to a higher-level PLC or a PC. These data can
be accessed via the PLC application program of the controllerE. Access in the user program is
carried out via the variables
COoutData[0]
to
COoutData[127]
.

Example for module 13
Task:
Process data with a total length of 50 bytes are to be transmitted by the controllerE to a higher-
level PLC. To which value must module 13 be set?
Solution:
The data length is 50 bytes.
Module 13 must be set to a length of at least 50 bytes in order to transmit all data.
