Short summary

Name	`TRUNC_ULINT`
→POU type	→function
Category	IEC-block, Convert
Conform to →IEC-standard	no restrictions , but: implementer-specific realization ; see "Functionality"
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 ULINT value.

Implementer-specific realization

The IEC-standard defines that it is an error when the connected value is not within the range of values overlapping for the data type of the input and for the data type of the return value as well as that the behavior in the case of such an error is implementer specific. The general behavior of the TRUNC blocks in logi.CAD 3 is as follows: The non-overlapping value range is not considered to be an error. The return value of the block depends on the compiler and target system (see "Effects of the compiler settings on the execution" for details).

Inputs, return value

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

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 : ULINT;
   END_VAR
   result1 := TRUNC_ULINT(2.8);     (* The variable 'result1' evaluates to '2'. *)
   result2 := TRUNC_ULINT(2.5);     (* The variable 'result2' evaluates to '2'. *)
   result3 := TRUNC_ULINT(2.01);    (* The variable 'result3' evaluates to '2'. *)
   result4 := TRUNC_ULINT(2.0);     (* The variable 'result4' evaluates to '2'. *)
END_PROGRAM
