How change number of decimals in 800xA
I have Object Type "FloatLog" Derived from "PLC Real Extended Signal Type"(PLCConnect) with included Graphic Element. I need some place to storage Number of digits after coma that i can link with Graphic Element of Object Type, and change it on each instance.
Write desired number of digits direct into Graphic Element when i place it on Graphic Display is not a solution.
I need to change this value once per instance from BDM.
What is a parameter "NoOfDecimals" in "Real PCA" Aspect, how can i change it?

Typically this property is called the "Fraction". A fraction of 2 is 2 decimal places.

This is done from the Signal Configuration aspect by setting the range (Low and High limit) with the number of decimals that you want.
eg.: Low limit: 0.000 and High limit: 100.000 will result in 3 decimals.
This is a very indirect way and may be extra complicated from the BDM because Excel may remove the decimals.
Please contact your local ABB representative and ask for a more direct way to set NoOfDecomals in future releases.
