5.3. The Process Port Data Size parameter can be lowered to reduce the total amount of Ethernet/IP data occupied
by the IO-Link data. NOTE: The default process data size is 32bytes per port (per IO-Link specification)
however most devices do not use the entire 32bytes.
5.4. If the Port Process Data Size is modified, the Input and Output Size entries on the Connection tab will need to
be changed to match. NOTE: The “(In xxx / Out xxx)” listed in the Port Process Data Size Parameter is provided
in bytes and need to be converted to words for the Input and Output Size Entries.
