8.6.5 TCS Basys Master

TCS Basys Master can be configured on either RS-485 port by selecting Basys
Master from the protocol dropdown menu. The TCS Basys Master protocol uses
service objects to make requests. For more information on service objects, refer
to section 8.4. Each position in a service object is mapped to 2 bytes in the
database (the data size is fixed at 16-bit, as this is the native data size of TCS
Basys data). For more information on TCS Basys service objects, refer to
section 9.4.2.
