Does anybody know how the floating point math works in the ML 1200?
I'm trying to divide 2 numbers, can i get a result accurate to 1 decimal place? I'm using RSLogix500 version 5.5. The processor is a 1762 L24BWA

If your processor is a series C processor then it can do floating point math.

Make sure that Source A, Source B and the Destination are all floating point locations. If you are using a constant in either source be sure to include a decimal point even if it is a whole number. (eg 8.0 not 8)
