The numeric display shows the value of the Value connection at the data source. The value shown depends on whether the Value connection value is a floating point or integer value.
Tip: |
In 32-bit floating point values, 1 bit is used for the sign (if any), 8 bits for the exponent, and 23 bits for the significant. This allows no more than 7 digits. In FactoryTalk Machine Edition, floating point values are rounded to 6 digits. Therefore, using a floating point data type and adding to it a value that exceeds the 6 significant digits will result in a loss of precision. |
Floating point value |
Integer value |
Value rounded to fit the display based on the Number of digits and Decimal places properties: Example: If "Number of digits" = 6, If "Number of digits" = 6, |
If Decimal places property = 0, value shown as is. If Decimal places property is greater than 0, the integer value will be shown, followed by enough zeroes to equal the Decimal places property. Example: If Number of digits = 6 If Number of digits = 6 |
