Object Dictionary (OD)
In PROFIBUS, a communication target on the side of the server accessed from the client is called an
object, and the server must have a table called an object dictionary in which the object attribute
information is recorded. The OD on the server side is called the local OD.
The client reads the server OD via communication and retains a copy and then conducts
communication while referring to the read copy. The copy retained by the client is called the remote
OD.

Local OD
In the AJ71PB96F/A1SJ71PB96F the memory areas shown in the table below can be registered in the
local OD as objects. Setting is done by using the software package (excluding Program Invocation).
