Layout and content of the process image
7.1 Routing
The process image transmitted by the Flexi Soft gateways into the network consists of the
operational data (e.g. logic results, input and output states) and the diagnostics data (e.g.
module status, CRCs). These data are organised in 4 data sets.
Data set Content Size Can be customized
1
Operational data Max 50 bytes
16)
Yes
2
CRCs 32 bytes No
3
Status and diagnostics 60 bytes No
4
Reserved 60 bytes No
The operational data in data set 1 are organized into one or several data blocks, depen-
dent of the network protocol. For detailed information about the modularisation of the data
sent into the network please see Tab. 149 and read the chapter on the related gateway.
The content of data set 1 can be freely customized with a granularity of 1 byte but is pre-
configured in the delivery status (see section 7.2 “Default settings for the operational
data” on page 174 and section 7.3 “Customizing the operational data (Flexi Soft to
Network)” on page 175).
The diagnostics data in data sets 2-4 depend on the network protocol used and are
described in the chapter on the related gateway.
