Value & Status – Floating Point Structure
This data structure consists of the values and the state of the Floating Point parameters. These
parameters can be inputs or outputs.

Coding of status
The definition of status attribute is the same for all parameters (input, output, and contained). There
are four states of quality of the data, an enumerated set of sixteen sub-status values for each quality,
and four states of limits placed on the data. Limit information is generated for all status attributes of
all parameters having status. Quality bit #7 and #6 (for cascade mode) must be set to “good” in the
second word of the data message while writing to AO and DO function blocks. See coding structure
below for details.
