7.21.4 Analog value representation for measuring ranges with
SIMATIC S5
Analog value representation
The analog inputs have a resolution of 12 bits + plus/minus sign, whereas the
analog outputs have a resolution of 11 bits + plus/minus sign. Each analog value is
entered in the accumulator with left justification.
The analog values are represented in the form of a twos complement.
Analog inputs
The following table shows the analog value representation of the expansion
modules with analog inputs:

Sign
The sign (+/–) of the analog value is always in bit number 15:
”0”
”1”
Irrelevant bits
Irrelevant bits are marked ”x”.
Diagnostic bits
Bit numbers 0 and 1 are reserved for diagnostic functions, whereas bit number 2
does not have a function.
E = error bit (0 = no wire break; 1 = wire break)
O = overflow bit
