Diagnosis at submodule level
In general the submodules have the same diagnostic properties as the modules, i.e. in this case also it is currently only possible to read out the nominal and actual configuration in TwinCAT. The order of the subslot numbers is not necessarily the same as the order in the TwinCAT project. For example, in the DAP the starting point is always the Interface Submodule (ISM), but the subslot number of the ISM is defined in the GSDML and starts at 0x8000. There are 16 possible interfaces (0x8x00), each with up to 256 ports (0x80xx). An ISM is followed by the port submodules with the subslot number referred to above.
