Data Type - Measured Value
The
Measured Value
data type is transferred into 2 holding registers in 32-bit floating-point format (single pre-
cision) according to IEEE standard 754.
Structure of the Format
The 32-bit floating-point format consists of a sign bit (S), exponent and mantissa:
Value Range
The 32-bit floating-point format has the value range: ±10
38
.
Value of the Measured Values
The value of a measured value is obtained as follows:
Exponent = 0: Resulting value = 0
Exponent = 255, mantissa = 0: Resulting value = (-1)
<sign>
* +Inf
Exponent = 255, mantissa not equal to 0: Resulting value = NaN
0 < Exponent < 255: Resulting value = (-1)
<sign>
* 2
(<exponent> - 127)
* 1, <mantissa>
Status and Quality Information
SICAM MMU uses floating-point values with the exponent 255 (Inf, NaN) to display status information of the
measured values:
Byte 3 (MSB)
Byte 2
Byte 1
S
Holding register 02xx
Byte 0 (LSB)
Exponent (8 bit)
Mantissa (23 bit)
...
...
Holding register 02xx+1

Overflow
Measured value overflow
(> 1.2 V

)
7F800001H
NaN
invalid
For example, frequency not measured because mains
voltage too small
(< 15 % V
rated
)
7F800002H
NaN
not calculated
Measured value is not calculated, for instance because
it does not exist in the selected network type.
