4. The inverted handshake flag (outgoing handshake flag for output data bit 4) tells the PLC that new data has arrived and it begins to process it. The Vision Sensor does not need to confirm the receipt of the data, and this can be ignored by the PLC. v2.8.2-K11 305/332 ipf electronic GmbH Lüdenscheid, Germany...
Page 306: Handshake With Acknowledgement
5. The PLC detects the acknowledgement (ingoing handshake act. flag for output data bit 4) and therefore that the data has been received, and can now send new data and invert the handshake flag again. v2.8.2-K11 306/332 ipf electronic GmbH Lüdenscheid, Germany...
