Understanding the Features
3--5
Binary data has a range of 0 -- 65535 (0 -- FFFF in Hex format).
To display a Binary number in a display point, simply place the Binary value in the
appropriate data cell.
To read a Binary setpoint value, reference the PLC register in your PLC program.
If the displayed value or the setpoint value is 40500, the PLC register will display the
following (shown in BCD/Hex format):

9E34
Field point data cell 2
XXXX (Don’t care)
Decimal Point
The number of digits displayed after the decimal point is configured in the
OP--WINEDIT Configuration Software. The decimal point location is configured
separately for each field point.
The decimal point is for displaying purposes only and cannot be changed by or
written to a PLC register for use in the PLC program. Once configured, it is fixed and
can only be changed by reconfiguring the OP--414.
For BCD long numbers, the number of digits that can be displayed after the decimal
varies from 0 to 7.
For Binary numbers, the number of digits that can be displayed after the decimal
varies from 0 to 7 but the highest number that can be displayed is 65535 (that is,
0.0065535).
