Short summary

Name

MOVE

→POU type

→function

Category

IEC-block, Numeric

Conform to →IEC-standard

(error) currently restricted(IEC demands data type ANY for the input and the return value. Hence the following data types are demanded as well: LTIME, WSTRING, WCHAR, LDATE_AND_TIME, LTIME_OF_DAY, LDATE. Currently, these data types are not supported for the block.) 

Graphical interface

Available since

  • version 1.18.0 (for Neuron Power Engineer) – initial variant

  • version 1.109.0 (for Neuron Power Engineer) – enhancement: STRING , CHAR, user-defined data types and references for IN and for the return value

Functionality

The block returns the value connected to the input. Nothing is calculated.

Example for usage within ST-editor

PROGRAM Test
   VAR
      result : REAL;
   END_VAR
   result := MOVE(IN := 1000.0);    (* The variable 'result' evaluates to '1E+3'. *)
END_PROGRAM
