The maximum number of input bytes supported by SST-DNET-COM software is 128, and the maximum number of output bytes is 112. Take “Polled Input” and “Polled Output” as examples: Click the “Polled Input” button, and then click the “Read” button, DeviceNet software will read the network input data.
Note that after the address is changed in the general interface, because the device with the modified address will be restarted and the DeviceNet internet connection has been disconnected. At this time, the I/O data input and output operation will not be able to see the data. You need to disconnect SST-DNET-COM's “Internet Connection” and re-establish the internet connection.

Service ID, Class ID, Instance ID, Property ID, attribute value data format are hexadecimal, where Class ID and Instance ID can be one or two bytes, bytes and bytes are separated by spaces. All ID are low bytes first, high bytes after.
The data conversion between GT100-PN-DM's DeviceNet and PROFINET is established through a “mapping” relationship. There are two data buffers in GT100-PN-DM, one is PROFINET network input buffer, and the other is PROFINET network output buffer. The DeviceNet read command writes the read data to the network input buffer for PROFINET network reading.
