Beckhoff 6731 - Simatic DP/DP Coupler

I have two machines that are using Beckhoff TwinCat for control and they are communicating to one another via 6731 Profibus Masters through a Siemens Simatic DP/DP Coupler, but, the first five bytes of data in the inputs is flickering with data.

According to the documentation, there are diagnostics blocks fo the DP master (DPV0) which are Standard diagnosis 6 bytes in length starting at address 0 and Module diagnostics 5 bytes in length starting at address 6.

Is there anyway to turn this off? Does this remove bytes from the maximum of 240 bytes in the input data table?

If anyone has any ideas on what I can do to try and stop the flickering data, I would appreciate it.

Thanks,
Andrew
