I have two integers in Dec. 16169 and -30892. They get moved to a float and displayed. I am wanting to double check the value to expect. I have search but not quite finding the thing I need. How can I figure the Floats value offline with a calculator? Anyone know the formula and can explain it to me so I can understand what's going on?

Thanks for any help,

What do you expect that number to be?
 
11.34554. But more importantly I am interested in learning the math behind it and how to calculate it offline. :)

I just used it and it worked like a charm. (Matched the value I had expected anyway) Thanks for such a great link and all your help. If anyone has anything to add on doing this with just a calc and the math behind it I would still be interested in learning more!!

Glad it worked for you - I couldn't get it to match your expected value, but as long as you did...
 
Hi

Not sure if you are using an ab plc but I had the same problem coming from a sick vision sensor last year and I used a cop instruction from a dint or int can't remember to a real and it worked for me as the mov instruction would not

AB PLC 5. Just was chasing the Dragon on some values that aren't updating on a daily report and ended up here, got curious and couldn't get an acceptable answer until JHarbin popped by. Just always want to know more...

Hi

Maybe you could try the cop in plc 5 and see does it work as it did for me in 5000. Just if you get a chance but be careful as I have faulted a plc 5 in the past with some items, not as easy to fault a 5000 thank goodness
