Display a float value in DigtalPanelMeter
« on: May 18, 2024, 04:18:31 PM »
Hello, I am using a Productivity P1000 PLC, and just come across the Advanced HMI, getting on well apart from trying to display a Floating value in the DigitalPanelMeter, my modbus address are 400025 & 400026, so in the PLCAddressValue i put F400025, but it only reads this data value and not the F400026, how do I sort this?

Test with a BasicLabel first to see if it is getting the correct value.

To show a floating point on the DigitalPanelMeter, Set the ScaleFactor property to 1000 and the DecimalPosition to 3

As Archie suggested, use a BasicLabel first.

You could as well put 3 of the BasicLabels controls next to each other and address them differently: F400024, F400025, F400026.
One of them should show the correct value.
