What is the simplest solution to convert a PND_IO_512 Variable coming from a profinet device to a ASCII string?

 

Is there a conversion block just for this that i am missing?

 

Thank you in advance..

    Hi Jason,

    The BUF_TO_STRING function block is probably the easiest way to do this.

    Let us know if you need help with that block.

    Thank you Martin, 

    Yes i think i may need a bit more assistance with that block..    I seem to have it configured but i am not getting any output on that DST.  I have no ERROR and STATUS remains at "0"

     

    Thank you..

    Hi Jason,

    Here's a video (without sound) showing the conversion of data in a variable of type PND_IO_512 to an IEC-61131 STRING type.



    Hope this helps.

    ~ Martin.
