ASCII CALCULATIONS

[aaronezra 0]

hi guys, I want to perform a calculation based on the received ascii text data and its value is for example, 1.0e-8.. how do i do this?

if your controller does not have function for it, you need to parse the string yourself.

1.0e-8 means

1.8 * 10^(-8)

You have to convert the ASCII number string to an actual number. How you do this depends on the PLC you are using. Repost your question with more information and in the correct sub-forum, and you'll get better responses.
