BOOL_TO_WORD

The BOOL_TO_WORD block converts a BOOL value to WORD.

Ladder Representation

Variable Type	Name	Data Type	Description
VAR_INPUT	EN	BOOL	Block enable.
VAR_INPUT	Value	BOOL	BOOL value.
VAR_OUTPUT	ENO	BOOL	End of operation.
VAR_OUTPUT	Result	WORD / UINT / INT	WORD value.

When EN is TRUE, the block interprets Value as a BOOL value, converts it to WORD, and stores the result in Result.

When EN is FALSE, Result remains unchanged.

The ENO output passes the EN state to the next Ladder block after the operation is finished.

The Ladder examples convert VALUE from BOOL to WORD, store the final value in RESULT, and activate ENO when the block finishes successfully.

The following Structured Text code applies the same logic shown in the Ladder example.

VAR
    VALUE : BOOL := TRUE;
    RESULT : WORD;
END_VAR

RESULT := FB_BOOL_TO_WORD(EN:=DI1, Value:=VALUE, ENO=>DO1);
