The output is in millimeters, so a conversion in the controller is not necessary. The
following format has been selected in the variable definition:
PLC address:
Data type Word
Variable type: Decimal number (without sign)
Length: 6 digits
Post-decimal places: 2 digits
Selecting ‘with sign’ would cause the output to change as follows:
Display range -327.68 to 327.67 mm
Because of the sign, the output length has increased to 7 digits. The format spec-
ified in the variable definition must be adapted accordingly.
Format Data type formatting scaling
Binary Bit, Byte, Word, Lword x -
Hexadecimal Byte, Word, Lword - x
Decimal Bit, Byte, Word, Lword x x
BCD Byte, Word, LWord - x
Floating point Lword x x
Selection text Bit, Byte, Word x -

The format corresponds to scaling without the need for calculation.
Scaled Output
When a variable is scaled, its range of values can be adapted to the operator guid-
ance. Scaling applies to data input and output. The operands can be entered in the
programming software.
Scaling for integers:
Operand Range of values
Factor -32768 to +32767 (excluding the value 0!)
Divisor 1 to +32767
Summand -32768 to +32767
The operands factor and divisor must be
.
0!
Scaling for floating point numbers:
Operand Range of values
Factor +/-999999999,99999999 (excluding the value 0!)
Divisor +/-999999999,99999999 (excluding the value 0!)
Summand +/-999999999,99999999
The operands are stored in IEEE-format
The variable also retains its entire value range for formatting.
