WORD_TO_DWORD
This function converts a WORD variable to a DWORD variable.
If you omit an input or output parameter, a building error will occur.
This function converts WORD data In to DWORD data Out.
Example for the Range of WORD Data (WORD#16#0000 to WORD#16#FFFF)
• The value of Out will be DWORD#16#00000000 to DWORD#16#0000FFFF.
There is no instruction that converts DWORD data to WORD data.
• 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.
