Publication 2711E-6.15 – November 1998
Field Meaning
Maximum Value Specify a maximum value greater than the minimum value. The
range of possible values is any number between –2,147,483,647 and
2,147,483,647. The number can have a maximum of 10 digits. The
decimal point is not considered a digit.
Note: If the Decimal Point type is Implicit, the valid range is
–2,147,483,000 to 2,147,483,000. Implicit (floating-point) values are
accurate up to 7 significant digits; additional digits are rounded off at
the PanelView terminal.
At runtime, if the operator enters a value above the value you specify,
the terminal will not write the value to the PLC.
Minimum Value Specify a minimum value less than the maximum value. The range of
possible values is any number between –2,147,483,648 and
2,147,483,646. The number can have a maximum of 10 digits. The
decimal point is not considered a digit.
Note: If the Decimal Point type is Implicit, the valid range is
–2,147,484,000 to 2,147,482,000. Implicit (floating-point) values are
accurate up to 7 significant digits; additional digits are rounded off at
the PanelView terminal.
At runtime, if the operator enters a value below the value you specify,
the terminal will not write the value to the PLC.
Display Configuration
How you configure the display determines how the values appear to
the operator at runtime.
Field Meaning
Number of Digits Enter the number of digits that can be displayed on the screen. The
maximum number is 16.
Fill Left With Choose whether the left portion of the display will be filled with
zeroes or blank spaces when fewer than the maximum number of
digits is displayed.
Decimal Point How you configure the decimal display determines the appearance of
the display. It also determines the controls you must assign.
Disabled—Select this option if you do not want any decimal point
displayed. If the Displayed Value control contains a decimal point, it
will be rounded off.
Implicit—The value from the Displayed Value control will be
displayed as it is, without any external decimal position manipulation.
Fixed Position—Specify where the decimal point is positioned in the
numeric display. See Digits after Decimal Point, next.
PLC Controlled—Select this option if you want the position of the
decimal point to be determined by the PLC. This means that the
decimal point is not in a fixed position, and the PLC controls the
number of digits after the decimal point.The PLC Controlled decimal
position can display 1 to 15 decimal digits. If the value returned by
the Displayed Decimal Point Position control is outside this range,
the display field is filled with asterisks (***). See the section “Using
the Decimal Point (Display Component)” earlier in this chapter for
more information.
Digits after
Decimal Point If you specify the decimal point as Fixed Position, enter the number
of digits that will appear after the decimal point. The maximum is 15.
