Is there another way to get a real out of an RTD input card on a S7-1200 S7-1215 1AG31 with 231-5PD30 and 231 5PF30 Tia V11 SP2

I believe the RTD module does the same. When you first use your IW### for the temperature input and create your tag, set it to INT. To use the value as real, just divide it by 10.0 in a DIV block in LAD. However, you may find leaving the value as an INT and display the implied decimal works best as it only uses 2 bytes and is the exact value detected by the rtd module (well, rounded to 1 implied decimal anyway). Post your results!
