Decimal point in Compact Logix 1769 L32 E processor

Dear All,

I am using 1769 L32 Processor. I need decimal points or floating point application in my mathematical instructions. I am not able to figure that, can someone help?

Regards,

Paul

You need to have a result that is a data type REAL. Also, if you enter direct values with decimal points in them they are considered floating point numbers (REALs).

Floats are defind as Reals in RS Logix 5000. Goto your tags list under Data Type put REAL.

When you create a tag you must declare it's properties, use REAL as it's type. Nice that you can create a tag that is "undifined" and then later assign a type. INT, DINT, REAL ect... If using the tag editor you can enter a new tag and the default data type is usually DINT, before you hit the enter key click on the type column and enter REAL.
