SIPROTEC PROFIBUS-DP - Communication profile
C53000-L1840-B001-03
Indication type (bits 4 and 5)
01
bin
= 1
hex
for single-point indications
10
bin
= 2
hex
for double-point indications
The bits designated as "reserved = 0" are at present always transmitted with the
value = 0. These bit positions are not to be evaluated by the PROFIBUS-DP master,
as in future, further information is envisaged to be transmitted therein.
Example A change from ON to OFF of the indicated single-point indication used in the
example for the identification byte (see above) is transmitted with the value byte
00010000
bin
= 10
hex
.
Bytes 3 to 10:
Time stamp
The absolute time stamp is transmitted with the data indicated in Figure 3-9 (millisec-
onds up to year) for the point in time at which the alarm changed state.
Meaning of the clock status:
• Logic OR-combination of the real time status bits:
10
hex
→ set: daylight saving summer time
20
hex
→ set: real time clock error
40
hex
→ set: real time clock not valid
