Hi,
So there's a possibility that the sync manager would react with datagrams that
satisfy the length? A datagram not for the slave but with appropriate length
may
be supposed to be the datagram corresponding to that slave?
Best regards,

The byte on the last address within the mailbox address range (see configured
mailbox size)
>How can sync manager identify its datagram by just the last byte?
By comparing the given address and the size of the transferred data. A master
must either write the full size of the mailbox (even if the real payload is
much
smaller) or it has to write 2 datagrams: One with the real payload, addressed
to
the start of the mailbox, and an additional datagram that writes just one byte
at the end of the mailbox address range.

Martin
