    The Maximum input/output length is 240 Bytes, but the first 20 Bytes of input/output are reserved for I-7550E(We call it as “System setting module”).The I-7550E supports the Maximum Ethernet data length is 1460 Bytes, so if the I- 7550E receives the data that its length is greater than configured input length, the I-7550E will partition data into several sections according to configured input length.
  • Page 17 The user needs to fill these values of output area of system setting module, and the I-7550E will handle the data according to these value. When the I-7550E receives the data from Ethernet device, it will put the information in the input area of “System setting module”.

  • Page 19 If the user wants to send the data that its length is over configured output length of PROFIBUS to Ethernet device, the I-7550E provides a method that helps the user to combine several packages to one. After receiving all package, the I-7550E combine them and transfers to Ethernet device as shown Figure 15 and Figure 16.
