PLC Controlled Decimal
Point Workaround If a numeric object in your PanelBuilder 1400e application was
imported into FactoryTalk View ME software with a PLC controlled
decimal point, an error is recorded in the conversion log.
PLC Controlled Decimal Point input option not supported
As a workaround, use this expression for the Value connection in your
numeric object.
(YourTagHere)/(10 ** (PVe Decimal Point Position Tag))
This expression will let you input a decimal point in a numeric value.
Replace these items in the expression.
•
Replace YourTagHere with a tag having a value you want to
display.
•
Replace PVe Decimal Point Position Tag with the tag assigned to
the Decimal Point Position connection in the original
PanelBuilder 1400e graphic object.
TIP
You may need to configure the number of digits the object
displays and the number of decimal places to show depending
on the FactoryTalk View ME object. These fields are typically on
the General tab of the object’s Properties dialog.
