Hi there, the value is exactly how is stored in the plc and how floating values are handled in general in programming/cpus. The plc software just shows you 1 or 2 points of precision.
Have a look at this tutorial, I would probably use round or f string under the second example.

Here is a bit of an explanation on floating storage for 32bit cpu just as a general explanation why floating values have long precision. In short they're stored as binary numbers.

Another from python docs.

It’s important to realize that this is, in a real sense, an illusion: you’re simply rounding the display of the true machine value.

Hi, Fernando. I thought this might be the case. Thank you for the tutorial - I'll have a look.

Thank you again, Fernando. Agree with your observation - I've got no intention to round the floating values since they're as mentioned by yourself, the true value :)

You're welcome. Glad to be able to help!
