The figure below shows an example; in this case an AS-Interface Master to Modbus-TCP Slave X-gateway is
used. 20 bytes of I/O data on the Modbus-TCP side and 312 bytes of I/O data on the AS-Interface side are
configured. Also byte mode is used in this configuration.
Note: The Input and Output data size is always set to 312 bytes and cannot be changed.
