Table 4-2 Data types and the associated commands/blocks for peripheral accesses
The 8-bit CFC data type "BOOL" is represented in the SIMATIC S7-CPU
as "BYTE" data type. This means that the SIMATIC S7 user must
appropriately set or evaluate the decisive MSB (Most Significant Bit):
 S7-CPU:
bit variable
 FM 458-1 DP:
In order to achieve high processing speeds with 32-bit accesses, the
following must be ensured by appropriately configuring the FM 458-1
DP/CFC (offset, refer below) as well as programming the SIMATIC-CPU,
so that
 16-bit values (INT/WORD data types)
are saved at even addresses (word limits) and
 32-bit values (REAL, DINT data types)
at addresses which are divisible by 4 (double word limits)
are saved in the two P-bus memories which are 128 bytes large.
