Scaling in TIA V13SP1

boneless · Feb 26, 2016

Hi!

Silly question.

I have an integer in my PLC that I show in my HMI. Is it possible to scale from an integer to a float?

For example. I can scale from 0..1000 to 0..100 in my HMI, but the datatype is still an integer. Is it possible to get 0..1005 -> 0..100.5?

Hi!

Element I/O field has in properties option decimal places. Try this

Awesome, will give that a try, told you it was a silly question

Thanks!

In the HMI you could probably do it in a script, copying from the INT tag, transferring to a REAL, then dividing by 10, every time the value is changed.

Easier way would just be to do it in the PLC, I imagine.

LuboV answered this one already.

However...that doesn't convert the integer to a floating-point number. Just displays the integer differently. Doesn't sound like you wanted to convert, but throwing it out there.

Correct, just want to show the decimal.

Thanks!
