5.5 Address space
Abbreviations
• "IB" stands for input byte, i.e. the module start address in the input area
• "QB" stands for output byte, i.e. the module start address in the output area
• "QAIn" stands for value status (QI) of the analog input "n"
"Value status" bit
For each input signal, the F-AI 8xI 2-/4-wire HART HA module provides information on its validity,
the "value status" (qualier bit). The value status is stored in the process image of the inputs.
In S7 F/FH systems, you may only access the addresses occupied by user data (AIx). The value
status is automatically processed by the F-channel drivers.
Regardless of the diagnostics enables, each "value status" provides information about the
validity of the corresponding process value.
Address space
The following tables show the allocation of the address space of the I/O module.
