To configure the communication channel, you must complete the parameters in the General parameters area dedicated to the project:

General parameters

The area looks like this:

The Number of IW/QW field is used to select the number of words used for the inputs/outputs: 32, 64, 128 or 242.
The Outputs field is used to select the fallback mode of the outputs:
- Maintain: the value of the outputs is maintained.
- Reset: reset to zero.
The Diagnostic Length field is used to select the diagnostics length in bytes from 6 to 244 bytes (32 by default). The size configured should be sufficient to contain the most important bus diagnostics. If the size is insufficient, the slave concerned will not be active on the bus because its diagnostics will be invalid.

NOTE: In order to optimize performance, select a minimum number of input/output words and diagnostics bytes compatible with the actual bus configuration.
