5 Measured value output
5.1 Telegrams
Notation
The individual sections in the syntax of the telegrams from the TiM5xx are each separated
by a space (ASCII code 32, 20h) as also neccessary in the request to the TiM5xx.
The TiM5xx sends measured values conditioned as followed:
Values with a leading “+” or “–” as a decimal value (ASCII notation).
Values without a leading “+” or “–” as a hexadecimal value (ASCII notation).
The different notations can be mixed within the telegram.
All following telegram examples refer to the CoLa-A protocol
Variable types
The variable types are the given in the syntax of the measuring data output telegram.
The following variable types are possible:
Important The information in the “Length” column of the table refers to the binary transfer of the
numeric parameters.
The information in the “Value range” column in the table refers to the value range math-
ematically possible for the variable type. The actual value ranges for the parameters
may be different see also Chapter 5.3 Measured value output fomat, Page 24.
