BOOL_TO_WORD
BOOL_TO_WORD
This function converts a BOOL variable to a WORD variable.
If you omit an input or output parameter, a building error will occur.
This function converts BOOL data In to WORD data Out.
If the value of In is FALSE, the value of Out is WORD#16#0000.
If the value of In is TRUE, the value of Out is WORD#16#0001.
To check for WORD data, refer to WORD_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.
