MF to DW for HMI displaying

[Apollas]

Hello,

 

Here's the situation: I have V1210 PLC and I'm reading a totalizer value (float format) from Siemens MAG6000 flowmeter via MODBUS.

I want to display this value, but I don't wanna use "Variable:Numeric", because I cannot chose how many decimal places to display. Actually, I don't need decimal places at all.

I cannot use INV (A+B/n), because MF value is going to be larger than you can store in the MI. I need a comfy MF to DW conversion just for displaying the value.

What options do I have?

Hello,

 

Is it possible to use an ML? (Range of -2,147,483,648 to +2,147,483,647)

 

Then you can use the INV(A+B/n) function block with MLs instead of MIs.

OMG! Totally forgot about MLs. Will try it today, but I think that it's exactly what I need.

Thanks s.pratt.
