Hi Was wondering in older versions of cx programmer did you use commas instead of decimal points for floating point values? Thanks

Thanks for ur reply. Any idea why the PLC would run a programme with errors in it such as this. The machine seems to be working fine. Bit of background I took a backup of a PLC and found errors to be on it In The form of the original programmer had used commas instead of decimal points when entering REAL values. Eg 3,0 instead of 3.0. Was wondering why this would be the case and why the PLC would run a program with errors in it. Can't get in contact with the original programmer at this current time.

Most likely the CX-Programmer project is opened on a system that has wrong regional settings which affects the symbol that is used for decimal separator. CX-Programmer expects a . (point) but with some regional settings, the decimal separator is a , (comma). Then CX-Programmer compiles the project with errors like "can't convert integer literal to real". Solution is to set the Windows regional settings such that a . (point) is used as decimal separator (US English for instance).

Thanks that would make sense as the program was created by a company from Spain, whereas we are based in the UK
