Unsigned values range from 0 to 65535 and are used to measure values that do not go below zero, such as 4 to 20 mA,
distance, or a counter.
5.12.1 Interpreting Register Values in the Banner Wireless System
The units conversion table defines the type and range of values for each type of I/O.
The wireless devices have many different units of measure for inputs including: milliamp (mA), voltage (V), temperature (°C
or °F), humidity (RH), or a raw 16-bit or 32-bit value. Outputs can be either current (4 to 20 mA, 0 to 20 mA) or voltage (0 to
10 V dc). All values stored in Modbus registers are unsigned numbers, except for temperature readings. The temperature
readings are stored as signed numbers (two's complement).
The following table
defines the range of values and descriptions for input units.

Temperature Measurements:
• In high resolution mode, the temperature = (Modbus register value) ÷ 20. For high resolution temperature input, 0 in
the register is interpreted as 0° and 65535 in the register (0xFFFF) is interpreted as −1 ÷ 20 = −0.05°.
• In low resolution mode, the temperature is (Modbus register value) ÷ 2. For low resolution temperature input, 0 in the
register is interpreted as 0° and 65535 in the register (0xFFFF) is interpreted as −1 ÷ 2 = −0.5°. The I/O range values
are –16383 through 16384.
When using a 4 to 20 mA sensor with a 0 to 20 mA input, the sensor uses the 4 to 20 mA section of the total range. Using a
4 to 20 mA with a 0 to 20 mA input allows you to determine when you have an error condition with the sensor. A normal
input reading between 4 and 20 mA indicates a functioning sensor whereas a value below 4 mA indicates an error condition,
such as a broken wire or loose connection. Some Sure Cross devices allow you to
configure the analog inputs and outputs
to use either 0 to 20 mA or 4 to 20 mA.
