Red Lion bit manipulation question...

Ok Red Lion guru's.......

I have to make sure I can grab data in 3 separate 16-bit tags and assemble only the USABLE data in each one of these into a SINGLE 16-bit word variable that is a composite of the 3 original tags.

Do I use a Gateway Block to "map" the individual variable bits to the bit locations I want them to occupy? How does one do this?

Any suggestions experts?

If I understand what you're wanting to do correctly I'd use Complex code within a tag to and/or/mask/multiply/add to extract the data and put it in a single destination.

Good luck,

Yosi

Thank you sir.

The tech support said the same thing. They said create a holding variable - and concatenate the other 3 variables into that variable by bit shifting them to the correct positions and then send this new variable to the register it needs to be in to send the data
