2.3 Data-Type Definitions for IO Data Exchange
The following data types and definitions are used to exchange data between the IO device and IO controller
via PROFINET IO:
• Single-point indication
• Single command
• Double-point indication and double command
• Measured value and statistic value
• Metered value
• Message block for event list and process alarm
• Units and unit multiples
2.3.1 Data Type Single-Point Indication (SP, Input)
Number of byte values: 1/8 (1 bit)
Range of values:
0 = OFF
1 = ON
Figure 2-5 Data Type: Single-Point Indication
Status of Indications
The status (valid or invalid) is relevant for indications which are, for example, received in the SIPROTEC device
with a GOOSE telegram and subsequently read by the IO controller via PROFINET IO.
A single-point indication containing the status of an indication can be created with CFC (Continuous Function
Chart) in DIGSI using the SI_GET_STATUS function block. This second indication can be used in addition to
the value for the transmission via PROFINET IO.
