Assign...
100% Value
100% Source
Assign...
This variable can accept values like those defined under 0% Value.
The Assign... button opens a dialog box to select a variable for the 0% Source field. By default,
only variables of suitable types are displayed.
Specifies the upper limit of the allowed value range for the process variable on the control
panel.
Possible Settings Possible settings are limited by the input field width in
characters so that limits can be entered and represented in the
input field.
In addition, input is limited by the connected variable data type
as follows.
USINT SINT
INT UINT
Value range from −99999 to 99999 (limited by
the maximum input field width to 5 characters).
DINT Value range from −2147483648 to 2147483647
UDINT Value range from 0 to 4294967295
REAL Value range from −9999999999 to 9999999999
These specifications apply when no decimal places are set. If
decimal places are used, the specification refers to the units in
the selected definition.
Example:
A SINT variable can be scaled from −999.99 to +999.99 when 2
decimal places are set.
In this way, invalid input is automatically corrected to valid data.
Determines the process variable which contains the upper limit of the value range for the
variable processed with this input field on the control panel during runtime. This setting is only
available if Parameters from PLC is selected.
Possible Settings Depending on the data type of the variable connected to the input field,
variables with the following data types can be connected:
USINT SINT Variables of data types USINT, SINT, INT, UINT, or DINT
INT UINT DINT can be used independent of the data point of the
connected variable.
UDINT UDINT
REAL REAL
(The data type has to be able to accept the desired limits
during runtime!)
This variable can accept values like those defined under 100% Value.
The Assign... button opens a dialog box to select a variable for the 100% Source field. By
default, only variables of suitable types are displayed.
Shift Decimal Point
Using this setting, the decimal point in the output field can be moved during runtime using a variable from the
control application.
This setting is only available if Scaling Active is selected under this tab and at least 1 decimal place is specified
in the Digits after Decimal Point field under the Parameter tab (otherwise, there is no space set aside for the
decimal point).
Source Determines the process variable which contains the number of additional decimal places to be
displayed. If fewer decimal places should be displayed, then the value of the variable has to be
