msg block

[justin.palmer1978]

I'm trying to send a real number from control logix to a plc5 using the msg instruction. I keep getting an error code 16#0013. configuration data size too short. I'm not sure of what to put in the #of elements field. I have tried 4,8,16,32. The help file said it is the number of bytes in the source element. Which is a real/floating type. Any Ideas.

a real number is a double word (32 bit), which is 4 bytes
