Analog Output

[Guest Dark_Dog]

I have a value I need to output to an analog device, however this valve is floating point. The question is can I directly send this value to the output by specifying the address of my floating point number or do I first ahve to convert it to an integer number before I send it to the analog card and if I have to how do I accomplish this. :-8

What are you using? PLC 5, SLC-500, Contrologix????

You do not need to convert it to integer. I use floating points on analog outputs all the time. I should clarify...You can move the float into the output and it is going to convert it to an integer automatially. In this rung, MOV F8:0 O:1.0, the output will be rounded to the nearest integer.
