AB Real to SINT's

I have a project to send a 'REAL' value to a Siemens PLC across a Profibus Gateway, the problem is the gateway and Siemens PLC deal only in bytes.


My question is:-


Is it possible to use a 'COP' and copy the real to a 'SINT' array for a length of 4 hopfully splitting it into SINT[0] to SINT[3]?


At the moment I have no way of simulating or loading into a processor to try.


If not maybe someone can point me in the right direction as to a solution.


Best regards
Steve

The copy instruction will do it
Copy Real_Tag Sint[0] Lenght 4

Thanks for that, I do have a further Question, not being that familiar with Siemens, anyone have any Idea how to reconstruct the value on the Siemens side?
