The status byte corresponds to profile 3.0 "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.

Status
code
Description according to Pro-
fibus standard
Possible cause
0x00 bad - non-specific Flash-Update active
0x04 bad - configuration error l Adjustment error
l Configuration error with PV-Scale (PV-Span too small)
l Unit irregularity
l Error in the linearization table
0x0C bad - sensor failure l Hardware error
l Converter error
l Leakage pulse error
l Trigger error
0x10 bad - sensor failure l Measured value generation error
l Temperature measurement error
0 x 1f bad - out of service constant "Out of Service" mode switched on
0 x 44 uncertain - last unstable value Failsafe replacement value (Failsafe-Mode = "Last value" and
already valid measured value since switching on)
0 x 48 uncertain substitute set l Switch on simulation
l Failsafe replacement value (Failsafe-Mode = "Fsafe value")
0 x 4c uncertain - initial value Failsafe replacement value (Failsafe-Mode = "Last valid value" and
no valid measured value since switching on)
0 x 51 uncertain - sensor; conversion
not accurate - low limited
Sensor value < lower limit
0 x 52 uncertain - sensor; conversion
not accurate - high limited
Sensor value > upper limit
0 x 80 good (non-cascade) - OK OK
0 x 84 good (non-cascade) - active
block alarm
