Analog Value Representation

Analog Values

In all S7-300 analog modules, the analog value is represented in binary form in the same way. This chapter describes the analog values for all the measuring and/or output ranges you can use with your S7-300 analog modules.

Representation of Analog Input and Output Values

Converting Analog Values

The CPU processes the analog values in binary form only. Analog input modules convert the analog process signal into digital form. Analog output modules convert the digital output value into an analog signal.

Analog Value Representation

The digitized analog value is the same for both input and output values having the same nominal range. The analog values are represented as twos complement. Table 4-1 shows how the analog values of the analog modules are represented:

Sign

The sign (S) of the analog value is always in bit number 15:

S 0 ) S 1 *
Resolutions of Less than 15 Bits If the resolution of an analog module has fewer than 15 bits, the analog value is entered left-justified in the accumulator. The lower-order bit positions not used are padded with zeros (0). Table 4-2 contains a bit pattern to show you how to write zeros (0) into the unassigned bit positions for a resolution with fewer than 15 bits.

Analog Value Representation of the Measuring Ranges of the Analog Inputs

Introduction

The tables in this chapter contain the digitized analog values for the various measuring ranges of the analog modules. Table 4-3 shows you the binary representation of the analog values and the associated decimal and hexadecimal notation of the units of the analog values.

How to Read the Measured-Value Tables

Tables 4-4 to 4-15 contain the digitized analog values for the various measuring ranges. Since the binary representation of the analog values is always the same, these tables only contain the measured values and the units. This makes the tables clearer and easier to read. You will find the binary representations corresponding to the measured values in Table 4-3.

Measured-Value Resolution

The resolution of the analog values may vary, depending on the analog module and the parameters assigned to it. For the resolutions < 15 bits, the bits marked with an x are set to 0. Note: This resolution does not apply to temperature values. The converted temperature values are the result of a conversion in the analog module (see Tables 4-8 to 4-15).
