APPENDIX A – Device Data Blocks
The device parameters are listed in the following tables. You can access the parameters by means of the index number. The
individual blocks each contain standard parameters, block parameters and manufacturerspecific parameters.
Using DD based configuration tools as an operating program, input screens are available as a user interface.
Analogue variable format
The output of each AI block as well as many variables calculated and available from the different blocks of the transmitter is
composed of 5 bytes.
The Variable is of 32-bit size in Floating Point format (4 bytes) plus a Status Byte (1 Byte).

Value = 1 * 4 * (1 + 0.5 + 0.25 + 0.125) = 7.5
Status
The Status byte is the fifth byte of any out value and represents the Quality of the variable. Each Transducer and Function Block
produces a specific set of Status Bytes.
IMPORTANT
Refer to the specific Block in order to see which Status bytes it produces.
