Support Questions / Scientific notation, conversion formulas and ports reading

« on: July 15, 2016, 03:07:13 PM »

Hello there.

I need to display two values taken from analog inputs in the PLC (micrologix 1500, using the DF1 driver), these values come from a vacuum gauge, these has to be converted to vacuum measure (Pascals), one of the formula is like this:

 vacuum=10^(VoltageRead-3.5) 

and the second vacuum gauge has the following formula:

Vacuum=10^(VoltageRead*1.667-9.333

These vacuum reading have to be shown as scientific notation, I.E. 3.55E-03 ....

I would like to use one of the "digital panel meters" of the toolbox.

Also, I could not read straight from the port (i.e. I:3.1), I had to move the value to an N:X.X registers before.

I anybody can help, I will apreciatte.
