Siemens SIMATIC TIM 3V-IE DNP3 System Manual page 207

Bin04B_S allows sending of up to 32 binary values. The object contains 4 channels each for
1 byte (8 binary values).
The object occupies 32 indexes if all 4 channels are configured.
The "Masks" box provides three options for transmitting binary value messages. You can
specify bit-by-bit whether certain bits do not trigger message transmission or which bits
trigger a different type of transmission than was specified in the basic parameters of the
object.

The "Masks" box in the parameter assignment dialog of the "Binary send" channel type
Alarm mask
Mask in hexadecimal format
00 (hex)
This alarm mask is not relevant for DNP3.
Send buffer principle mask
Mask in hexadecimal format
00 (hex)
Changes in masked bits in the byte of the "Binary send" channel cause a
message transmission according to the send buffer principle. Changes from
0 to 1 and from 1 to 0 are evaluated.
The corresponding bits are masked in hexadecimal format.
Disable mask
Mask in hexadecimal format
00 (hex)
Masked bits in the byte of the "Binary send" channel are ignored when
changes are checked. This means that changes to the masked bits for this
channel do not trigger message transmission. A masked bit always has the
value 0 in the message.
The corresponding bits are masked in hexadecimal format.
