STRING_TO_INT
STRING (decimal format) to INTEGER
Thereby the attached string is first converted to a value of the data type STRING[32]. Finally this is
converted to a value of the data type INT via a sub-programm of approx. 270 steps that is also
used in the functions STRING_TO_INT, STRING_TO_WORD, STRING_TO_DINT and
STRING_TO_DWORD.
To add an enable input and enable output to the instruction, select [With EN/ENO] from the
