There are three types of output:

Regardless of the type of output selected, the OUT_MAN command calculated by the loop controller goes through a limiter whose lower OUTi_INF and upper OUTi_SUP limits define the range of output variation. These limits define the output scale.

With the exception of the aforementioned limiter, no function is specific to this process. The calculated floating point value is converted into an integer which is then transmitted to an analog channel (%QW) or in a memory word (%MW).

There are two different integer formats:
