    DataTypeConverter

    This simulation component enables changing the data-type of a signal.

    DataTypeConverter

    When to use

    Use this simulation component if you want to change the data-type of a signal.

    DataReader connected to PLC

    How to use

    Add this simulation component from the simulation component library. Define the OutputDataType and connect the signal which should be converted.

    Parameters

    OutputDataType

    Indicating the target data-type of the output.

    Value Description
    Double The input data-type will be changed to the type of Double.
    UInt32 The input data-type will be changed to the type of UInt32.

    Inputs

    Input

    An input which data-type will be changed.

    Outputs

    After the OutputDataType is defined, the output of the specified data-type is listed here.

    Example

    In this example, the data-output of a DataReader simulation component is changed to the type of double.
