Technical data
8.3 Data format of the output signal
Byte4 Byte3 Byte2 Byte1 Byte0
Status Measured value (IEEE-754 Format, see below)
Status byte:
The status byte corresponds to profile 3,0 "Profibus PA Profile for Process Control Devices“
coded. The status "Measured value OK“ is coded as 80 (hex) (Bit7 = 1, Bit 6 … 0 = 0).
Measured value:
The measured value is transmitted as 32 Bit floating point figure in IEEE-754 format.

Mantissa Mantissa
Formula: Measured value = (-1) VZ • 2 (Exponent - 127) • (1 + Mantissa)
Examples: 41 70 00 00 (hex) = 0100 0001 0111 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 (bin)
Meas. value
= (-1) 0 • 2 (130 - 127) • (1 + 2 -1 + 2 -2 + 2 -3 )
= 1 • 2 3 • (1 + 0.5 + 0.25 + 0.125)
= 1 • 8 • 1.875
= 15.0
