PLC Controlled—Select this option if you want the position of
the decimal point to be determined by the PLC. This means that
the decimal point is not in a fixed position, and the PLC controls
the number of digits after the decimal point.
If the Displayed Value control is a fractional number and has
fewer than the specified number of digits, the value is padded
with zeroes. If the value has more than the number of digits, the
value is rounded off.
If you select this option, you must define the Displayed Decimal
Point Position control.
If the PLC’s value is invalid or greater than 15, this field is filled
with asterisks (***).
•
Fixed Position—Select this option if you want the decimal point
to appear always in the same position. You must specify the
number of digits to appear after the decimal point. Enter a value
between 1 and 15.
Tip: Use Fixed Position with an analog tag that has scale and
offset defined to achieve the version 5.10 Scaled Numeric Data
Display capability. Or, define an expression for the Displayed
Value control to achieve the same result.
