I have a DL205 (260 CPU) connected to a EA7-S6M-R panel. A numeric display in the panel is supposed to display the value of a database tag that references V2003 in the PLC but it doesn't. If the value of V2003 is 15 the panel shows 1. When the value of V2003 is 3072 the panel shows about 149. What stupid thing am I doing (or not doing)?

    Sounds like the numeric display in the C-More is scaling the V memory data. Double click on the display object and then look under the "Option " tab to see if scaling is selected.
