Configuration of the modules
Now select a corresponding data module for the input and output area.
A number of different modules are available with various data lengths (4, 8, 12, 16,
20, 32 … 1024 bytes).
Notice!
Because the data module contains 2 bytes for the control and status bytes, the actual user
data length is always 2 bytes smaller than the selected data module.
E.g., when using the data module with 12 bytes, there are effectively 10 bytes available for
user data on the Leuze device after subtracting the 2 bytes for status and control bytes.
