Status byte
In PROFIBUS PA there are two possible types of status byte:
● status byte: originally defined in Profile Standard V3.0
● condensed status: an alternative status byte defined in Profile Standard V3.01
You can choose which type of status byte will be returned, by enabling or disabling Condensed
Status (3.4.): see Enable (3.4.1.) for details. When Condensed Status is disabled, Status Byte
will be returned, and the following codes will be used.

done. This could also happen if the function blocks are not configured properly using the handheld
programmer, PDM or acyclic services.
