Convert RS232 - 8 bits of HEX to decimal number

[timboekhorst]

Hi,

Controller: Unilogic US7-B5-T24

The following data I received Com Rx buffer: 2B,20,31,35,38,2E,39,30,20,47,65,53,0D,0A

2B translates to the plus sign (+)

- - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 

Data:
20 translates to a space
31 translates to the number 1
35 translates to the digit 5
38 translates to the digit 8
2E translates to a dot (.)
39 translates to the number 9
30 translates to the number 0
20 translates to a space

I want to save the data into one tag as decimal number. How can this be done?

hi

seems that you are receiving a REAL number as a string.

the decimals will be always 2 or could be 1 or 3 or other?

how "large" could be the end number?...what range?

The message composer option in combination with parse message FB is the best way I´ve used to achieve tasks like the one you described.

You can find more information about it searching "third-party protocol functions" in help.

Thanks. This did the trick for me too.
