I'm using a Parker PLC which is called PAC.&lt;br/&gt;
Inside this PLC, I insert a Profinet Slave which driver is done by Codesys 3S (as shown here)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Name&lt;/strong&gt;: NetX PN Device&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Vendor &lt;/strong&gt;: 3S-Smart Software Solutions Gmbh&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Categories&lt;/strong&gt;: Profinet IO Device&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Type&lt;/strong&gt;:83&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;ID&lt;/strong&gt;: 0000 0085&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Version &lt;/strong&gt;: 3.5.5.0&lt;br/&gt;
I put the Xml description file in this post.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Inside the file, I have a max of 23 'devices' of 8 words limitation for the Input and Ouptut communication.&lt;br/&gt;
It seems that the Siemens PLC (master) has a limitation of 53 devices of 8 words each in Input / Output.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I've tried to change by hand this limitation of 23.&lt;br/&gt;
Communication works until 30 devices (of 8 words each).&lt;br/&gt;
as soon as I set 31, it is not working anymore.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Does someone knows why I have this limitation?&lt;br/&gt;
It seems to be a cyclic communication, do I have an acyclic channel as well?&lt;br/&gt;
If so how can I use it?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As it is a 3S device, I hope someone will be able to help me on this topic!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks by advance!&lt;/p&gt;
