Functional Description:
The PROFIBus Receiver generic hardware operator provides access to a networking channel resource in the physical hardware. When the generic operator is linked to a specific networking hardware resource, it will receive messages from the associated process data in the PROFIBus network.

User-Defined Properties:

Name. A string label that identifies the operator.

Data Format selects the data type of the receiver, and shows the data size in bytes.  This setting should be equal or less than the size of the associated process data.  Anything larger will be truncated.

Stucture Name. For structure data types, the name of the structure to be used.
Offset selects the byte offset of the received data field, to output.
Display Error Output. This property determines if the error output pin is visible in the schema diagram. Design Pad issues a warning upon processing the schema when the pin is visible but not connected. The warning message is not issued when the pin is not visible (when this property is not checked).

Comments: None.
