Fig. 47: Data format of the output signal
The status byte corresponds to profile 3.02 "Profibus PA Profile for Process Control Devices" coded.
The status "Measured value OK" is coded as 80 (hex) (Bit7 = 1, Bit6 … 0 = 0).
The measured value is transferred as a 32 bit floating point number in the IEEE-754 format.
