I would recommend that you look harder for a type casting function in your Proface scripting. If you provide more detail about the scripting language and/or links to their documentation, I'll take a look for you.
As far as data conversion in the PLC - each ASCII character is an 8 bit word, which, I'm sure could be converted to INTs. However, this strikes me as a knarly approach. They have got to have a better builtin way to accomplish your task. It may be a matter of refining how you phrase your question.

Hi
I am using a compactlogix 1769L32E with a PROFACE panel view, to communicate with the panel view i am using SLC/PLC Message
all this is ok, but i want to log some data on a compact flash on the proface in CSV format.
I didn't find out how to convert REAL to ascii with my proface script, so i wanted to convert these data on the PLC via RTOS function, but after how to transfert my string?
i would like to copy the string data ascii code in a Dint, but how to do it? any idea ?
