Short summary

Name	`TRUNC_UINT`
→POU type	→function
Category	IEC-block, Convert
Conform to →IEC-standard	no restrictions
Graphical interface
Available since	version 1.27.0 (for logi.CAD 3) version 3.1.0 (for library `Standard`) – For inputs of data type `REAL`, the optimized `float` variant of the C-runtime is used. Compared to previous versions , it is possible that (marginal) other results are returned within the threshold range of the block.

Functionality

The mathematical function trunc is called:

The decimal portion of the floating-point number connected to input IN is truncated (there is no rounding). The block returns the integer value as UINT value.

Inputs, return value

	Identifier	→Data type	Description
Inputs:	`IN`	`REAL`, `LREAL` (corresponds to →generic data type `ANY_REAL`)	value to truncate
Return value:	–	`UINT`

Input EN and output ENO are available when →calling the block. See "Execution control: EN, ENO" for information on input EN and output ENO.

See:

"Blocks for safe logic" whether this block is supported for developing safety-relevant applications.
"Highlighting safe logic in the FBD-editor" for the effects when using the block as a block for safe logic .

Example for usage within ST-editor

PROGRAM Test
   VAR
      result1, result2, result3, result4 : UINT;
   END_VAR
   result1 := TRUNC_UINT(2.8);     (* The variable 'result1' evaluates to '2'. *)
   result2 := TRUNC_UINT(2.5);     (* The variable 'result2' evaluates to '2'. *)
   result3 := TRUNC_UINT(2.01);    (* The variable 'result3' evaluates to '2'. *)
   result4 := TRUNC_UINT(2.0);     (* The variable 'result4' evaluates to '2'. *)
END_PROGRAM
