Didigat Panel Meter and Floating point value Control Logix 5000

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.

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