Step 7 5.5, DINT to REAL

[janner_10]

Got a project on to transfer some data between AB and Siemens using Anybus Gateway.

All is good, however, I am trying to convert a DINT to a REAL in Siemens and getting an odd result.

See attached.

Any pointers?

Online display can be funky sometimes, think it's the var type messing around. What's it say when you view it in a VAT? Or just plain ol STL and Representation > Floating-point?

Thanks, Representation to Floating-Point revealed the correct value.

Then I'm guessing the data type for "Holding_Real" isn't set to Real/float.
