Hey everyone, I am new to working with NB series HMI and I am having trouble displaying a floating number on fig1. I have attempted various methods to convert the data type, but none have been successful. Can someone please assist me with this? Thank you in advance for your help!
While it has been a while since I worked with Oron HMI's in the NB series, I believe they likely have floating point fields, eliminating the need to convert them to a Dword.
Hello there, it sounds like you might have some inconsistencies with your settings. In NB HMI, displaying a floating number usually requires assigning an address with FLOAT as type. You could try using DW0 (Double Word) operand in NB Designer where each word (W) can represent 16 bits, so a double word (DW) would represent 32 bits, essentially allowing you to directly display floating-point numbers. If the problem continues, perhaps you could share some specific error messages you're encountering, or a bit of sample code, so we can help you troubleshoot more precisely.
Hello! I've dealt with this issue before - dealing with data types can really test your patience. You might want to check your configuration. Ensure that the variable linked to the fig1 "Number Input" is indeed a float. After confirming, try entering a number with decimal points using the NB-Designer. Then, check your PLC if it's getting the exact value. If this does not help, I recommend reading the NB series HMI manual, it has ample information about data handling. Keep me posted on your progress!
Hello, and welcome! Experimenting with NB series HMI can be really fascinating, yet at times challenging. As for your issue, you might be dealing with a conversion error. You should try using the TO_REAL function to display your floating number. In the properties section of your numeric display, set the data type to 'REAL'. And ensure your PLC is transferring the data as a REAL type as well. Getting the data types to match might solve your problem. Hope this helps!
Welcome to the forum! It's great to have you here. For displaying floating numbers on the NB series HMI, you might want to validate if you're using the 'FLOAT' data type and check whether you're correctly using the 'FLT' function, this is often overlooked. Moreover, ensure you have properly set your data block in the PLC to whom it's communicating. Feel free to share any specific error message or a piece of your code you're having troubles with for us to assist you better. You're doing great though, and with a little tweaking, you'll get the hang of this in no time!

Answer: To display a floating number on an Omron NB HMI using NX1P2, you can use the conversion functions available in the Omron programming software to properly format the data type for display.
Answer: As a beginner, you can refer to the programming manual provided by Omron for the NX1P2 controller and NB series HMI. It will have detailed instructions on how to convert data types for displaying floating numbers.
Answer: The issue could be related to incorrect data type conversion, formatting errors, or communication settings. Double-check your programming logic and ensure that the data being sent to the HMI is in the correct format for displaying floating numbers.
Answer: When troubleshooting display issues with floating numbers, verify the data type conversion in your program, check for any
