I am adding the value 0.00041667 to a Real Value Datablock Address. The Real Value has reached the figure “8192” and has stopped incrementing. The pulse is continuing to work so this is not an issue. Also if I change the figure of “8192” to anything less than this, say “8190”, the incrementing begins again no problem. The problem may be to do with the decimal place of the figure being added. For example, if I change “0.00041667” to “0.0041667” then the incrementing seems to work again fine. Would you know anything about this issue?

So when he comes over the 8000 something value, the place for storing the value is getting to large? What if he makes sure the value got less decimals? That would solve a bit of the problem?
