Figure 3-5 Data type: Measured value (float)
Sign bit (S) The sign bit is set for negative measured values.
Measured value The value of the measured value results as follows:
Note:
Measured values in float format are only available for Transrapid protection devices
(7ST622).
All other SIPROTEC devices use measured values in signed integer format for trans-
mission (ref. to chap. 3.4).
