Part II IEC Instructions
STRING_TO_DINT
STRING (Decimal Format) to DOUBLE INTEGER
At first the string is converted to a value of the data type STRING[32]. Finally this is converted to a
value of the data type DINT in a subprogram of approximately 270 steps, which is also used by 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
"Instructions" pane (LD, FBD or IL editor). To reuse an instruction select "Recently used" from the
context menu or press <Ctrl>+<Shift>+<v> in the programming window.
Example with and without EN/ENO:
Acceptable Format:
'[Space][Sign][Decimal number][Space]' e.g. ' 123456 '
Acceptable characters:
Space Space “ “
Signs Plus “+” and minus “-“
Decimal
Numbers
Decimal numbers "0“ - "9“
The analysis ends with the first non-decimal number.
