Representation of analog signals in the
process image
In the standard case, analog signals present themselves as follows: two
input bytes or two output bytes of the process image are needed for each
analog channel. The two bytes represent the value as an unsigned integer,
i.e. 15 bits with a sign. The data format is used independently of the actual
resolution. For example: with a resolution of 12 bits for analog values in the
positive and negative value ranges the four least significant bits are of no
significance.
If the value of the analog signal is only positive, the sign bit (bit 15 MSB) is
always "0". In this case, the 12 bits of the analog value are reproduced in
bits 14 to 3. The three least significant bits are of no relevance.
Via the configuration interface, it is possible to set the bus controller so that
it represents all or individual analog channels in an extended mode.
Optionally, the control and status byte of a channel can also be displayed.
The least significant bit of three bytes has control and status functions. The
further two bytes become inputs and outputs. Various modes can be set
with the control byte. The six least significant bits of the control and status
byte can be used as addressing bits. Addressing serves to write and read a
register set inside the terminal. The register set has 64 registers. The
settings are stored in a power fail safe manner.
