BOOL_TO_INT
This function converts a BOOL variable to an INT variable.
If you omit an input or output parameter, a building error will occur.
This function converts BOOL data In to INT data Out.
If the value of In is FALSE, the value of Out is INT#0.
If the value of In is TRUE, the value of Out is INT#1.
To check for INT data, refer to INT_TO_BOOL.
• The input condition depends on whether the output is safety data or standard data. If the condition is
not met, a building error will occur.
• If you set a safety data type variable for the output terminal, set a safety data type variable for the
input terminal as well.
• If you set a standard data type variable for the output terminal, you can set either a safety data type
variable or a standard data type variable for the input terminal.
