Step sizes

All analog signals and measured values are transmitted in the „floating point“ data type with single precision in accordance with IEEE 754. More than six significant digits are available when transferring data to the controller. This ensures high accuracy and precise value transfer to the controller. The accuracy limits are defined by the specification of the IEEE 754 standard.

The step size when setting parameters depends on the data type used:

• BOOL: Boolean value that only allows two states (TRUE, FALSE).
• ENUM: Enumeration that only allows predefined states.
• TIME: Numerical value that represents durations in milliseconds.
  This means that time periods from 0 seconds to approx. 49 days are available.
• REAL: Floating point number with single precision in accordance with IEEE 754.
  This means that more than six significant decimal places are available.
