4.3 Cyclic data exchange between controller and PN/BACnet LINK
Status and control information of BACnet client
The PN/BACnet LINK cyclically transmits the following status information to the S7
controller:

Note
Several seconds can pass after switching the client functionality on or off using the control
byte before the corresponding actions are completed in the PN/BACnet LINK. The time
required for this process depends, among other things, on the size of the configuration and
the response times of the addressed BACnet devices. The PN/BACnet LINK indicates
completion of these actions by updating the corresponding status information in the status
byte.
