Broadly speaking they are connected. A few nuances . . .
1) 100 "SCADA" points coming in over serial modbus will consume 1 DST for the Dataset.
2) Fieldbus I/O consume 1 DST per device no matter how many I/O are configured, so e.g. a coriolis meter might have mass flow, volume flow, and density and temperature all configured but you will use only one DST. Discrete I/O for on-off valves - same thing.
3) The same is true for wired HART. WirelessHART I believe works the same as well.
4) As best I know conventional and remote IO consume 1 DST per input / output so for that case IO count = DST count (although all DST's are not equal, last I checked).
Hope this helps . . .
