Posted 25 Oct 2017 Hello, I am confused because need convert 8 bit integer number to bit e.g. If have number in the memory M12, 125 for me need active Output Y0=1, Y1=1, Y2=1, Y3=1, Y4=1, Y5=0, Y6=1, Y7=0. Somebody could give to me advice how need to do it? I am using GX Works2 and fx3g PLC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 25 Oct 2017 (edited) M12 is a Bit Device SO I think you mean D12. MOV D12 K2Y0 will do this K1 is 4 bits K2 is 8 bits K3 is 12 bits etc. But you have the bits vice versa 125 = 0111 1101 = Y7.Y6.Y5.Y4 Y3.Y2.Y1.Y0 Edited 25 Oct 2017 by Gambit 1 person likes this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 26 Oct 2017 Hello Gentlemen. I just read this and it seems a nice way to do it Gambit, however, I've used GX developer for years and often find using an open contact (F5) and something like D12.0 D12.1 D12.2 d12.3 etc is an easy way to get the binary information out of a data register, but........ I just tried it to confirm the smallest and largest bits in Works2 and it didn't work! Seems fine in Works3 and GX developer though. Hopefully I've attached a working picture with a value of 207 in D1 chopped up as binary in the next rung. Hope that helps Neil 207 iin D1 shown in Binary.odt 207 iin D1 shown in Binary.odt 207 iin D1 shown in Binary.doc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 27 Oct 2017 @Workshop Warrior: It should (I've tried it) work in GW2 too. What problem(s) are you facing with this in GW2? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 27 Oct 2017 Hello Kaare I've just typed it in to see what the error message was and it worked first time! I suspect that hands were faster than brain again, it won't be the first time. Thanks for checking though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
