For what I mean, There’s usually a format section of the value display or it's done in scaling tag. I don’t really have evidence of ALL hmi but all I’ve worked with. It is not the same as fixed decimals to use a 10 time bigger int in code. I too use reals for convenience most of the time, but that’s only because the platforms don’t suffer from the computational need or the double data size of the value.
It was successful. Using datablock addressing is a lot easier and works perfect for what I need to do: to display temperature readings in Mitsubishi got2000 through s7-1200 cpu. Thanks a lot.
