Trying to use a Numeric Text Field for a Real / Floating point on a screen. Ignition 7.7.4
I have the Data properties set to “Float” and have a binding on the float value, but when I type any number on the OIT it just sends gibberish down to the PLC.
Not sure what I am missing.
The value in the AB PLC is a REAL and I am using UDT’s and Templates in Ignition - with the tag type set to FLOAT4.
What PLC and driver are you using? When you dragged the tag into Ignition did was the tag type already detected as float or did you have to change it yourself?
I will give that a try after they shutdown - Now that I have made the change they are running and I am having to change the setpoint for them in the PLC.
