(PROFINET IO only)The value status is always activated for the following module names:
● AQ 8xU/I HS QI
● AQ 8xU/I HS S QI
● AQ 8xU/I HS MSO
An additional bit is assigned to each channel for the value status. The bit for the value status
indicates if the output value specified by the user program is actually pending at the module
terminal (0 = value is incorrect).The following figure shows the address space allocation for the configuration as 8-channel
module. You can freely assign the start address for the module. The addresses of the
channels are derived from the start address.
"QB x" stands, for example, for the module start address output byte x.For the configuration as a 8 x 1-channel module, the channels of the module are divided into
multiple submodules. The submodules can be assigned to different IO controllers when the
module is used in a shared device.
The number of usable submodules is dependent on the interface module used. Observe the
information in the manual for the particular interface module.
Contrary to the 1 x 8-channel module configuration, each of the eight submodules has a
freely assignable start address.For the configuration as a 1 x 8-channel module (module-internal Shared Output, MSO),
channels 0 to 7 of the module are copied to multiple submodules. Channels 0 to 7 are then
available with identical values in various submodules. These submodules can be assigned to
up to four IO controllers when the module is used in a shared device.
● The IO controller to which submodule 1 is assigned has write access to outputs 0 to 7.
● The IO controllers to which submodule 2, 3, or 4 is assigned have read access to outputs
0 to 7.
The number of usable IO controllers depends on the interface module used. Please observe
the information in the manual for the particular interface module.
Value status (Quality Information, QI)
The meaning of the value status depends on the submodule on which it occurs.
For the 1st submodule (=basic submodule), the value status 0 indicates that the value is

incorrect or that the IO controller of the basic submodule is in STOP state.
For the 2nd to 4th submodule (=MSO submodule), the value status 0 indicates that the value
is incorrect or one of the following errors has occurred:
● The basic submodule is not yet configured (not ready).
● The connection between the IO controller and the basic submodule has been interrupted.
● The IO controller of the basic submodule is in STOP or POWER OFF stateThe following figure shows the assignment of the address space with submodules 1 and 2.The following figure shows the assignment of the address space with submodules 3 and Address space for configuration as 1 x 8-channel AQ 8xU/I HS MSO with value statusYou can find information on the Shared Input/Output
