Numeric Display Object

Topic: CM277

Note: You can select the option to suppress scientific notation (exponential notation) when using Floating Point Data in the Panel Manager window. This is a global selection and applies to all Floating Point Data display objects.

The Numeric Display Object allows you to display the value stored in the Data Display Tag without making that value accessible to be changed by the user.

Note: If using the Use tag for Decimal Point Tag, Fractional is ignored.

Justify

Select a Justification setting from the drop-down menu. Leading Zeros display a 0 for every digit that has no value (e.g., 00034567if 8 digits are selected.) Leading or Trailing Spaces do not display any unused digits.

Use Tag for Decimal Point

A varying Decimal Point can be placed in the Numeric Display value by specifying the number of places in the assigned Decimal Point Tag.

Visibility may be configured using a discrete tag or a numeric tag. The object will be visible when the tag or tag conditions are true. Object visibility may be useful in your project but it has a significant cost in terms of CPU resources and noticeably affects screen update rates.

The displayed value may be scaled to represent a different range of values than the values stored in the PLC tag (Data Display Tag) configured on the General Tab.
