Description of the PLC300 Operation
9-4 | PLC300
Only numbers are allowed, including sign and decimal point. After typing the number, press
<ENTER> to update the value. The <DEL> key deletes the character under the cursor.
<ESC> exits without changing the value.
Properties of the input component: line (y), column (x), width, data type, maximum and
minimum and number of decimal digits.
The width must provide sign (in case of variable with sign) and the decimal point, if present.
In case of a integer variable with decimal places, the maximum and minimum values do
not consider the point. For instance: WORD with two decimal places: 0.00 to 655.35, but
the minimum and the maximum are: 0 and 65535.
Variable types: BOOL, SINT, USINT (BYTE), INT, UINT (WORD), DINT, UDINT (DWORD)
and REAL.
If the entered value is out of the maximum or minimum limits, the value is not accepted
and a warning screen appears:
[------------------]
[ VALUE OUT ]
[ OF RANGE. ]
[------------------]
The number of decimal places limits the display of places after the decimal point.
Examples:
Number of decimal places: 2
Variable type: REAL (floating point)
Typed number: 1.2258
Displayed value (after the <ENTER>): 1.23
Value stored in the marker: 1.2258
Number of decimal places: 3
Variable type: WORD (16-bit whole):
Typed number: 1.2258
Displayed value (after the <ENTER>): 1.225
Value stored in the marker: 1225
NOTE!
A maximum of 12 inputs can be placed in each screen.
Notes:
 in the REAL variable, the typed value is completely stored, though only two decimal
places are shown, with rounding.
