3.2.5 Status Types
Datapoint types for transmitting status information should meet two goals:
1. A device should be able to report its operating mode to other devices.
2. A device should be able to be switched to a specific operating mode.
To achieve this, further bits are sent as a mask in addition to the actual status
information. The mask determines whether the data of the status fields should be used as
valid commands or only for information purposes.
These datapoint types are primarily used in the area of heating technology.
