I’m passing some data from an SQL database to Ignition and then to a PLC. The number in the database is 3 digits and the PLC needs to see the same 3 digits. I would like ignition to display the number /100. Is there an easy way to accomplish this?

SQL value = 834  
PLC receives 834  
Ignition Displays 8.34

You can use an Expression binding on the Value property of your component. Try this:

```auto
{Tag/Path}/100
```

This would show the quotient on your component, but wouldn’t change the value that PLC receives.

you can also set up linear scaling on your tag. something like raw max = 10000 scaled max = 100
