Hi PLC experts,
Using CFC, I configured a logic to totalize a certain parameter which is flow. The totalizer is functioning well except that, when the value reaches a million, the totalized value being displayed seems not accurate. The increment becomes linear. I'm thinking maybe it has something to do with the 32-bit thing of the floating point data type but I'm not sure what exactly is the explanation for that. Can somebody give me an explanation for this?
Please help.
Thanks,
maia
