German term
United States
in dem Datenbyte einlesen/abbilden
German to English
Tech/Engineering
context: programming of MSG software (MSG=Meß- u. Steuergerät)
Wenn nun das MSG anläuft, so werden alle mit "-" gekennzeichneten digitalen Eingänge, welche eine Nummer > 0 im Parameter 'mode' besitzen in dem Datenbyte mit der Nummer 'mode' eingelesen und alle digitalen Ausgänge, welche eine Nummber > 0 im Parameter 'mode' besitzen in dem Datenbyte mit der Nummer 'mode' abgebildet.
Any help with this phrase much appreciated!
TIA, Beth

read in in the data byte ... , and ... represented in the data byte ....
I´m no MSR/PLC expert, but I´ve seen eome of this stuff, and I think this is how it is said. You probably already know how this works: with there being a data byte which is aligned with the statuses of the connections in and out, so that it at all times reflects their state (for inputs) and they its (for outputs).
It´s all rather odd from the viewpoint of an office IT person like I was, but this is the whole basis of MSR/PLC, the interface between the world of representation and the world of actuality.

Incidentally (but it fascinates me :-) the relationship with time at the data byte is also rather odd, since the real world and its control lines function in continuous time, while the other side of the data byte is in the realm of the clocked processor and stepping software, which read and update the data bytes in discrete time, even in so-called \"real time\" systems.

being read into the databyte...and
...being referenced in the databyte (don't think you would say "pictured" or "portrayed" when it comes to programming software)

will be read from the data byte/will be represented
inputs states are read from the corresponding bytes, outputs are written to the corresponding data bytes, that's the basic idea.
As a draft: .. all digital inputs with a mode parameter value > 0 will be read from data byte number "mode". All digital outputs with a mode parameter value > 0 will be represented by the data byte numer "mode".
If you care to, you might want to rephrase this sentence: If the value of the mode parameter for a digital I/O is greater than 0, this value will indicate the data byte number. The state of digital inputs can be read from this byte. For digital outputs, this byte will represent the outputs state.

Thanks to Kenneth for his comment. It\'s always good to learn.
I admit I wasn\'t aware that using the plural is poor English. But even so, I used the plural on purpose. The German sentence does not tell us weather or not the inputs/outputs are bitmapped. It\'s not likely, but I haven\'t been able to rule it out.

Chris has the right idea (and maybe Klaus as well, but I must say I find his wording even more difficult to understand than the original).
To say this in reasonable English, you should use the singular rather than the plural (the latter is good German style but not good English):
thus more or less literally:
'...each digital input marked with a '-' that has a number >o in the Mode parameter is read in using the data byte whose number is equal to the value in the Mode parameter, and each digital output that has a value >0 in the Mode parameter is copied to the data byte whose number is the same as the value in the Mode parameter. '
Presumably a group of data bytes is read and another is sent out, with each data byte having an associated number.

Something went wrong...
