12.3.1 Control and Response Bits

Purpose Three bytes are present in the interface area for the control and response
bytes. Bytes n+0 and n+1 are used to synchronize the OP3 and the S7. Byte
n+3 is not applicable to the OP3.
Byte n+0: Byte n+0 is used by the OP3 to request the current time and the date from the

Byte n+1:
Byte n+1 is used by the S7 to detect the OP3 restarting.

OP start-up
Bit 0
Bit 0 in data byte n + 1 is set by the OP3 upon termination of start-up. You
can reset the bit in the S7 program and thus detect restarting of the OP3.

12.3.2 Connection ID

Byte n+13 The OP3 enters the connection ID (MPI/PPI) in byte n+13.
This means that the connection ID can be evaluated by the S7.
The illustration shows the structure of the data byte.
