4.4.1 Data formats
The table below contains the data format used for transmission of the process data:
*1
Exponent / mantissa
For the byte sequence in which the various
data types are saved in the memory or trans-
ferred, see the following figures.
Data type INT8 / UINT8
Example using the figure 50 (32 hex):
Data type INT16 / UINT16
Using the figure 12589 (312D hex):
Data type INT32 / UINT32
Using the figure 1212117675 (483F72AB hex):
Data type FLOAT
The Float or Real values are transferred in
accordance with the IEEE754 Standard Format
for 32-bit values. Example using the figure
1.25:
Hexadecimal: 3F A0 00 00 (0: + ; 1: -)
Signed (S): 0
Exponent (E): 0111 1111
Mantissa (M): 010 0000 0000 0000 0000
Data type ASCII
The characters are transmitted in accordance
with ASCII Codepage 437. Example "mg/l“
