Presentation (only when using SINT16-PDO)
For historical reasons, there are various formats in which the 16 bits of the SINT PDO (Signed Integer Process Data Object) can be interpreted.
The format can be set in the index 0x80n0:02 .
This analog channel supports:
- "Signed" (default): top/highest/0. Bit is sign, negative number in 2's complement in bit 1..15
- "Unsigned": all 16 bits are used for the amount of the analog value, resulting in double resolution for positive analog values. No transmission of negative values possible.
- "Absolute Value with sign": top/highest/0. Bit is sign, bits 1..15 carry the amount of the analog value
- "Absolute Value": the sign of the analog value is ignored, only the (positive) amount in bit 1..15 is transmitted

 | Presentation types The presentation types "Unsigned integer" and "Absolute value with MSB as sign" have no function for unipolar terminals. There is no change in the presentation in the positive range. |
Possible errors (Error) and underrange/overrange are also set and displayed in this functional unit.
If the measured value exceeds or falls below the 16 bit value limits due to the previous tare process, the value is limited to -32768/32767.
Please note: This cannot happen when using REAL32-PDO, as the FloatingPoint value is basically unlimited.
The analog measured value is now transmitted via EtherCAT.
