SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR THE TRANSFER OF FLOATING POINT NUMBERS IN XML FORMAT WITHOUT LOSS OF INFORMATION

摘要

The invention relates to a system and a method for the transfer of floating point numbers in XML format without losing information, which is especially used in automation technology, for example for transmitting process data of a process automation system in XML format especially via internet to a monitoring and control system and/or to an additional automation system etc. In order to avoid rounding errors which occur mainly during conversion of numerical values from binary to decimal values, the floating point numbers represented in a text are not represented on a decimal but on a hexadecimal base.
