Entering Parameters
Enter the following parameters when programming this instruction:
•
Source - The contents of this location are converted to an integer

•
Destination - This is the location which receives the result of the
conversion. The data range is from -32,768 to 32,767 if the destination

Instruction Operation
The controller searches the source (file type ST) for the first character
between 0 and 9. All numeric characters are extracted until a non-numeric
character or the end of the string is reached. Action is taken only if
numeric characters are found. The string length is limited to 82 characters.
Commas and signs (
+,
-) are allowed in the string. However, only the
minus sign is displayed in the data table.
This instruction sets the following math flags in the controller status file:
