OUTPUT 4DO, DC24V/0.5A NON FLOAT >>6ES5441-83A11 441-8 DIG. INPUT 8DI, DC24V/0.5A FLOAT in S7 hardware.

Floating or not has to do with galavnic separation (optocoupler for instance)between the internal PLC powering and the load voltage of the in/out channelsand and/or between individual channels. See the schematic representation in the manual of the S5-95U, chapter 15 (http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/1091648)
