Logix Designer 5000 DDE Poke in Binary?

Hello all, first time posting here.

I am writing a VBA routine to write tag values in Logix Designer 5000 V30 using DDE poke. The tags in want to write in are shown in binary style in Logix Designer because they make more sense that way. Is it possible to use DDE Poke using binary instead of decimal format, or is decimal the only way to do it?

Thank you.

I just write the integer value to the PLC tag. Since the PLC tag itself sets the style there isn't anything you should need to consider in VBA.

For example, if I want the PLC tag to have a value of:
2#0100_1001_0010_0011

My Excel doc as columns configured as binary to match the binary format of the PLC. I can set the bits, then a formula in another column determines the integer value, example:

0100100100100011 | 18723

I just write 18723 to the tag.
