→Overflow
An overflow is the exceeding of a capacity limit resp. of a number range. An overflow in Neuron Power Engineer occurs when the result of a calculation is too large to still be interpreted/represented correctly. The valid number range is determined by the upper and lower limit of a →data type. See "Supported data types (in ST)" for the appropriate upper and lower limits.
For instance, adding value 1
to the largest SINT
value 127
results in an overflow. And subtracting the value 1
from the smallest SINT
value -128
results in a negative overflow.
