3.4.7 Value Scaling and Stepwidth
The following table gives an overview of how raw Modbus register values are scaled and
which stepwidth is defined for set points.
Note that though a display value or a set point would accept values from 0 to 65535 if
unsigned or -32768 to 32767 if signed the value that is displayed is limited to a range from
-999 to 9999 because of the 4 digit display.
When a fixed-point number reaches a certain limit where an overflow occurs the
decimal point is shifted rightwards (e.g. 999.9 → 1000).
Whole number values are preferably displayed with the bigger digits. If an overflow
occurs the number is shifted rightwards (e.g. 999 → 1000).
