  • Page 18: Handshaking (Optional)

    Handshaking (Optional) 2.7. Handshaking (Optional) Handshaking between the DeviceMaster UP and the PLC assures the producer (for example, the PLC component) that the consumer (for example, DeviceMaster UP) received the serial packet. The producer must know this before it sends another packet. This avoids possible data loss that might occur due to dissimilar polling periods or system busy conditions.
