Noted, is it possible to join 7 strings in one instruction instead of joining 2 at a time?

you have four DTOS instructions, why not concatenate a dot after each one of the first three of those?

Just display the four values separated by a period in the HMI.

In the HMI create a text object that uses an embedded variable for the left most value, then put a period. Then add the next value with another embedded variable. Then another period. Then the next value followed by a period. Then the right-most value.

That's how I would display it on the HMI. Note in my example below I added a return after each line so this would be easier to read. But they would all need to be on the same line to display correctly.

I would agree that if the work has already been done for a faceplate, this is a good approach.

If you are in a fresh or from-scratch environment, having the utility is handy so one's problem doesn't have to be re-solved.
