DP Configuring Message
The CP 541 requires the configuring message in the start after the parameter
assignment message, as described in the DP standard. The DP master sends
the DP parameter assignment message to the DP slave (CP 541).
The lengths of input and output data are specified in the configuring mes-
sage. They are compared to the data contained in DB1 of the CP 541.
The configuring message contains one or two identifier bytes.
You define the structure of input and output data with the identifier byte. The
structure of the identifier byte is represented in Table E-1.
