BCD_TO_LINT block

Short summary

Name	`BCD_TO_LINT`
→POU type	→function
Category	IEC-block, Convert
Conform to →IEC-standard	no restrictions
Graphical interface
Available since	version 1.22.0 (for Neuron Power Engineer)

The block converts a binary coded decimal value (a →BCD-value) into a decimal value of data type LINT.

At input IN, connect the BCD-value that should be converted. If it is not a valid BCD-value, the result of the block is not defined.

	Identifier	→Data type	Description
Inputs:	`IN`	`BYTE`, `WORD`, `DWORD` or `LWORD`	BCD input value
Return value:	–	`LINT`

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.

PROGRAM Test

VAR

        result : LINT;

    END_VAR

    result := BCD_TO_LINT(IN := 16#12345);       (* The variable 'result' evaluates to '12345'. *)

END_PROGRAM
