I am using bits for the status of a device and converting this to an integer for the HMI. I wish to check if the Bit is true then set the correct integer value (like a CASE statement). This will be done in a program block, hense I shall not be using Labels and it is not done at the end so I can't use BEU.

If all else fails I shall set/reset all the bits to create the integer but this is very confussing to read and wasteful.

Can you help.....

 

Can you send me what you have so far on this? I have some ideas but would like to see if I can explain it in your code. By the BEU command I see that you're using STL.

You can use JC and jump to a dedicated PB or FB and set your integer in there.

The other ways I know, is to use SF.. Set Flag, SS..Set S flag, or SD... Set bit a data block.

 

Hi All

You can conditionally jump to a label or conditionally jump to a block of code or do an arithmetic calculation to work out the right number, but in a program block as you can't calculate or jump (as you have pointed out) you have to do a series of load and transfer operations interspersed with logic and BEC (block end conditional) statements :

load integer for condition 1
transfer to resultant register
query logic condition
1 block end conditional
load integer for condition 2
transfer to resultant register
query logic condition 2
block end conditional
load integer for condition 3
transfer to resultant register
query logic condition 3
block end conditional

Good luck
