when SIMOCODE-DP is parameterized as Basic Type 2 compact, the number of
SIMOCODE-DP devices is limited to 47 (max). This limitation is due to a maximum
number of the slots within one Y-Link (47 x 5 slots = 235 slots, max. 236 slots). Also
please refer to the information given in the Y-Link manual.
