Over the years I have found this Forum to be very helpful and I have never had a chance to give back or offer any content. Mostly due to my lack of expertise. The other day I received some great help on the Host Eng Forum regarding the use of number formats. I decided to write up a little overview so I could make sense of the great advice I received. This would be an initial road map for a new user of DL plcs or PLC programming in general. Hopefully it is factually accurate and I don't lead anyone astray. If anyone has any content to add or corrections to provide feel free to offer your edits. Cheers::D
