I only have RsLogix 500 handy but I believe a PLC5 is the same. The range is 1.1754944e-38 to 3.40282347e+38.

The quick way I usually check the range that you can enter is to put a value in RsLogix that I know is out of range. It will pop up an error saying it is out of range and give you the valid range of numbers
