Question

What is the resolution of the data transferred to a Seimens PLC via Profibus?

Answer

The Profibus data transfer resolution is 20 bits from the HI 2151/30WC, and HI 2110WI units.

The HI 3000 series, HI 4000 series, and HI 6000 series units have 32 bit resolution.

The transfer registers are 16 bit registers, so the weight data will be split between two registers. If the data is split between two registers, the user would need to "combine" these two registers of data back together into one register in the PLC, to read the correct value.
