Title: Didigat Panel Meter and Floating point value Control Logix 5000
Post by: Darrell on December 17, 2014, 05:03:45 PM

Digital Panel Meter doesn't like a floating point value for Control Logix 5000 ,

Comm Error - 99 conversion from string "True" to type "integer" is not valid

I'm not able to replicate this. Does the float tag work in a BasicLabel?

Based on the error message, it sounds like the tag is being interpreted as a BOOL and not a REAL.

I did a real quick test just to make sure the driver is working and it worked on my setup.

I get the same error using a basic indicator.

What address are you using, what type is it declared as in the PLC,  and what property are you putting it in?
