Analog value
Analog values are exclusively processed by the CPU in a binary format. For
this the analog module transforms every process signal into a digital value
and transfers this as word.

15bit + sign SG Measuring value
With a resolution of 12bit plus sign bit, the not used low value positions
(3bits) are filled with "0".
The algebraic sign bit is represented by bit 15. Here it is essential:
Bit 15 = "0" → positive value
Bit 15 = "1" → negative value
As soon as a measured value exceeds the overdrive region respectively
falls below the underdrive region, the following value is issued:
Measuring value > end of overdrive region: 32767 (7FFFh)
Measuring value < end of underdrive region: -32768 (8000h)
At a parameterization error the value 32767 (7FFFh) is issued.
