Convert functions

This group of the IEC-blocks provides standard →functions to convert a →data type into another data type. The conversion is only possible if it is allowed by the data types. Observe the conversion rules.

logi.CAD 3 supports the following convert functions according to the →IEC-standard:

• BCD_TO_DINT block

• BCD_TO_INT block

• BCD_TO_LINT block

• BCD_TO_SINT block

• BCD_TO_UDINT block

• BCD_TO_UINT block

• BCD_TO_ULINT block

• BCD_TO_USINT block

• DT_TO_DATE block

• FROM_BIG_ENDIAN block

• FROM_LITTLE_ENDIAN block

• TO_BCD_BYTE block

• TO_BCD_DWORD block

• TO_BCD_LWORD block

• TO_BCD_WORD block

• TO_BIG_ENDIAN block

• TO_BOOL block

• TO_BYTE block

• TO_DINT block

• TO_DWORD block

• TO_INT block

• TO_LINT block

• TO_LITTLE_ENDIAN block

• TO_LREAL block

• TO_LWORD block

• TO_REAL block

• TO_SINT block

• TO_TIME block

• TO_UDINT block

• TO_UINT block

• TO_ULINT block

• TO_USINT block

• TO_WORD block

• TRUNC_DINT block

• TRUNC_INT block

• TRUNC_LINT block

• TRUNC_SINT block

• TRUNC_UDINT block

• TRUNC_UINT block

• TRUNC_ULINT block

• TRUNC_USINT block

Moreover, logi.CAD 3 supports these other blocks for a conversion:

• ControlEnh function blocks

• Safe convert functions
