A 16-bit value would be considered a Word (unsigned) or an Int (signed). Normqlly any WinCCIO field will adapt to the dimensionsof the variable selected in WinCC, so if your tag has a datatype 32-bit Unsigned (DWord)or 32-bit Signed (DInt) it will be able to be connected to an IO field. Adapt the size of the IO field (by stretching it) to enable the number to appear inside the limits of the IO field, and play with the parameters of the IO field (accessible by right-cliking on it) to select the appearance of the number. Hope this helps, Daniel Chartier

I have a counter of 32bits (sorry was not 16) and is connected to a display (IO Field) andwhen it give a number of "2,147,483,147" (10 digits), the display just showssimbols just like These "######". This happends because it need more digits to show the 32 bits number, because it only support the 16bits. When my countergivesa number smaller like "0, 100, 100, 1000, etc" (less digits)is no problem. My question is... what can I do to "show" all the number of 32bits (2,147,483,147) in a display? I would like to know how to had more digits to get the complete number in the display intead of simbols.... THANKS< for your help!!!
