Data format representation In Carlo Gavazzi instruments
The variables are represented by integers or floating numbers, with 2’s complement notation in case of
“signed” format, using the following:

For all the formats the byte order (inside the single word) is MSB->LSB. In INT32, UINT32 and UINT64
formats, the word order is LSW-> MSW.
2.1.1
Geometric representation
According to the signs of the power factor , the active power P and the reactive power Q, it is possible to
obtain a geometric representation of the power vector, as indicated in the drawing below, according to
EN 60253-23:
Fig. 2 : Geometric Representation
a = Exported active power
b = Imported active power
c = Imported reactive power
d = Exported reactive power

Maximum and minimum electrical values in EM21
The maximum electrical input values are reported in the following table. If the input is above the
maximum value the display shows “----”.
