Question

I'm doing REAL number math and OUTing the value to a register with my D3-350. When I need that number it does not display correctly. What's wrong?

Answer

The REAL number PLC's use the IEEE 32 bit floating point format. You must use an OUTD to store the result of a REAL number math operation into V-memory.
