本标准规定了用于运输的各种类型数据传输容器的定义 ANSI/CEA定义的协议中的温度、压力、状态和其他形式的数据- 根据ANSI/CEA-709.1-D中的限制，从任何数量的设备到任何其他数量的设备。本标准还规定了配置信息的数据类型，用于定义定时、默认值和其他数据。本标准还规定了一种数据文件传输方法，可用于在设备之间传输配置信息。本标准规定了设备- 描述设备互连点的接口格式。本标准还定义了一组特定于应用程序的设备配置文件定义。注意:文件传输机制并非专门用于将配置信息加载到设备中，因此可以用于其他目的。

This standard specifies the definition of various types of data-transfer containers for carrying temperature, pressure, state, and other forms of data over the protocol defined by ANSI/CEA- 709.1-D from any number of devices to any other number of devices, as defined by the limits in ANSI/CEA-709.1-D. This standard also specifies the data types for configuration information, used to define timing, default values, and other data. This standard also specifies a data-file transfer method that may be used for transferring configuration information to and from devices. This standard specifies the device-interface format that describes the interconnection points of a device. This standard also defines a set of application specific device profile definitions.NOTE The file-transfer mechanism is not exclusively for loading configuration information into a device and therefore it can be used for other purposes.
