This data structure consists of the value and status of floating point parameters
that are Inputs or Outputs.
DS-66 - Value & Status (discrete structure)
This data structure consists of the value and status of discrete value parameters.
DS-69 - Mode Structure
This data structure consists of bit strings for target, actual, permitted, and normal
modes.
