Structure of a USS Telegram
Description
The following figure shows the structure of a typical USS telegram.
Figure 6-16
Variable length telegrams and fixed length telegrams can both be used. This can be selected
using parameters P2012 and P2013 to define the PZD and PKW lengths.
The most common fixed length application is shown below:

Start Delay
The length of the start delay is at least the time of two characters and depends on the
baudrate.

115200
Note: The time between characters must be smaller than the start delay.
