What is the meaning of 12/13/15 bit resolution in siemens PLC cards?

Analog modules in siemens  comes with maximum 15 bit resolution.                          2^15 = 32768 which means 0.....32767. PLC converts voltage as below: Volt  0...10 V         into  Counts: 0.....27648                                       Counts: 27649.....32511: Over control range                                       Counts: 32767: Overflow : it will show for voltage in overange . If the resolution is higher then smaller voltage can be converted to counts. Eg: 15 bit resolution card : 2^15 = 32768    factor = 32767( total count as above)/32767(card resolution)=1 so voltage minimum readable = 10 (Max Volt) / 27648 ( Counts for 10 Volt)  * 1 (factor) = 0.00036 V 12 bit resolution card : 2^12 = 4096    factor = 32767( total count as above)/4096(card resolution)=8 so voltage minimum readable = 10 (Max Volt) / 27648 ( Counts for 10 Volt)  * 8 (factor) = 0.00289 V from above if we resolution is decreased than voltage change accuracy with respect to count is alos
