Integer to ASCII Integer

Hi,
I am having trouble with taking an Integer and somehow moving this number as part of an ascii string. Do I have to break it down and move 2 numbers to one word in the string file? I am using a micrologix 1100. I would appreciate any guidance here.

Use the AIC command. It will take your integer and convert it to a string and handle multiple digits. If you don't already have a string (ST type) file, you must do that offline and download.

If you need to build a string from pieces, look at the concatenate command (ACN), and to take apart a string, use the AEX (ascii extract)...

So if I have a number in N7:0, 12345,the AIC will put it in the ST file as 12345 as length of 5? Trying to understand, thought it would convert the decimal number to the equivalent ascii number?

just wanted to thank you...was able to test it finally and I see how it works. Thanks!

You're welcome!
