Using pots why can't you have a fraction decimal for value i.e.. 1.5 rounds to 2???

When creating pots why can't a decimal be entered for a value i.e.. 1.5 you can define the range i.e.. 1-30 but you cannot enter a decimal value without being rounded up to a whole number???

Check the 'resolution' setting.  If you want values to tenths change it from 1 to 0.1.

thank you changed the resolution but it doesnt work still it will act like it will take the new value but reverts back

[Rkdomer]

Check the numeric format of the display.  It might be set to '0' (generic or 0.0 will show tenths).

tried that one too im using it as a high reservoir alarm pot if my reseroir goes over 31.5 then it over fills but my options at this point are 32 or 31

would it be in the latters why i can only manipulate the level between whole numbers???

[Mike@Forshock]

Check if the pot is remotely connected to another object that may not have the same resolution.

its not i am running an allen bradley plc 500 with rockwell latter logic software and using lookout as the object oriented programming im thinking that i have to go into the latters binary codes and manipulate the coding so it allows for decimal values i have two reservoirs that i have different addresses that i can controll one i can set to tenths the other is the problem that i am having

[Mike@Forshock]

If the register can use a floating point the decimal would work.  Otherwise the you can program an "implied decimal" on the PLC.

im assuming thats what i have to do is go into the plc programming and tell it can use decimals instead of whole numbers the reservoir i am referring about was reprogrammed and supervised by another operator and thus theres a lot of things im finding that are wrong and or safety protocols were taken out of the programming itself
