Integer to Byte

[fLaXx 0]

I am working with integer/word in Gx Works 2, and i am wondering if there is a easy, smart way to split it into two bytes.

Example :

i get two values in data type byte, this is combined into integer in the gateway and im getting both values in the integer. i then need to split them up again. Maybe poorly explained, but i hope its understandable.

Any tips is appreciated!

Use "AND" (to mask out the upper byte) and "SHR" (shift-bits right to move the upper byte into a new word):

Lower Byte: AND [data] 16#00FF -> [outData1] (will only pass the lower byte to the output)
Upper Byte: SHR [data] K8 [outData2] (will shift the upper 8 bits 8 positions to the right).

Will this work?

Interesting! I will try this when i get back to work.

Thanks!

Take a look at the WTOB instruction, it's quite handy but then you need to convert your integer to word format

I am having similar problem.

I want to send first byte into lower word and second byte into upper word.

Hi

Use the BTOW function.
