4.1 Description of device data
4.1.1 General information
Each configured measurement value is a 4-byte value with a float format that agrees with the
IEEE Standard 754 Short Real Number. A status byte follows each measurement value.
4.1.2 Measurement data
Use a master and the GSD files to configure the device for the network. Set the measurement
values (modules) that are regularly transmitted to the master device. The table that follows
gives a list of measurement data (each value has a status) that is available in this sequence.
The Standard Data Format code 0x94 is used by default. If the master only operates with
Extended Format code, use 0x42, 0x84, 0x08 or 0x05 as alternatives to 0x94. These codes are
available in the GSD file. Approved personnel can change the format with a simple text editor.
