Hello to all

I have a PLC variable of type Short , which I am using an OPC Tag of type Float and I am passing this information to a TextField component.

But it shows me an integer and the PLC variable contains a decimal number.

in the example we see the following amount 1,510 but the amount contained in the PLC is 151.0
