9.2 Process Value VariableTypes
Table 62 lists the Process Value VariableTypes and their DataTypes defined for RIOforPA and RIOforFA. There are different VariableTypes together with their DataTypes defined for each profile for digital and analog Process Values.
| Profile | Digital Channel Types | |
| Process Value VariableType | DataType | |
| RIOforPA | RioPaDigitalProcessValueVariableType | RioPaDigitalProcessValueDataType |
| RIOforFA | RioFaDigitalProcessValueVariableType | RioFaDigitalProcessValueDataType |
| Analog Channel Types | ||
|---|---|---|
| Process Value VariableType | DataType | |
| RIOforPA | RioPaAnalogProcessValueVariableType | RioPaAnalogProcessValueDataType |
| RIOforFA | RioFaAnalogProcessValueVariableType | RioFaAnalogProcessValueDataType |
There is no distinction regarding Input and Output, RIO Input Channel as well as RIO Output Channel Objects use the same Process Value VariableType. For example, the RioPaDigitalProcessValueVariableType is used as Process Value VariableType by the RioPaDigitalInputChannelType and by the RioPaDigitalOutputChannelType.
9.2.1 RioPaDigitalProcessValueVariableType
The RioPaDigitalProcessValueVariableType represents the Process Value of a digital RIO Channel according to RIOforPA.
