CONTROL Packet
The CONTROL packet is sent from the contoller to each
node in CYCLIC phase. It is also used for configuration during the DISCOVERY
phase. The CONTROL packet contains only service channel data during DISCOVERY
phase. In CYCLIC phase, it also contains various I/O data: I/O outputs,
compare values, capture flags, and compare flags.
NOTE: The controller may require that the fields
of the configured packet structure lie on natural boundaires. In which
case, it may be necessary to create dummy fields.
