Using a Microview with ML1000 w/Analog

I'm wondering if there is another way to do this or do I have to use an N7 integer address in order to display an analog input to the microview.

Thanks

I would scale the analog input word to an integer word in file N7, such as N7:10 to some meaningful value in the Micrologix with the SCP function. Then go to the microview software and create a data display screen. Assign to that screen the N7:10 value. That's about it. You can also do scaling in the Microview itself by manipulating the register high and low limits, and the displayed value high and low limits. You could use other files like the b3 file if you want, but I think it is good convention to use N for integers and reserve the B file for binary data. The PLC really doesn't care though.
