How to watch the value in decimal directly in the ladder page ? 

Default Hexadecimal

The only way I can do it is in Watch Tab and I/O map per example

Thank you

Values in ladder page all default to decimal.  There is no way to view in hex on the ladder window.

I have the same problem, my variables when online show up as Hex.

And you will get the same answer.  It always shows decimal.

It will show the format of whatever you declared the variable to be.  As shown below, I have declared two variables that both point to the same address (D0).  You don't have to point tags to addresses, but it worked well to illustrate this concept:

I then created some ladder that was always off, just to show the variables in the ladder code.  As you can see in the image below, the D0_as_UINT (unsigned integer) shows a value of 10 (UINT), while D0_as_Word shows the hexadecimal equivalent value of 000A.

Side Note:  The values when entering a Constant default to decimal, so if this code were entered:

The Word#10 value would be entered as a decimal number and the hex value would be 000A (as shown).  

To enter a hexadecimal value of 10, you would enter your code like this Word#16#10:

As you can see in the image above, the value is stored in the memory location as a hex 10, this equates to a decimal 16 (top rung).

Must have mixed up with safety editor, that one is always decimal and very annoying for safety error codes.

I agree, at least the decimal values (alongside the HEX values) of the error codes are now in the help files....
