CCW Missing Any_To_Real Instruction

[TimWilborne]

Looks like I'm missing an instruction in CCW. It was there the other week. Anyone have any ideas on what I might have done? Here is a video showing the details.

what happens if you type just REAL in the search box?

Is this the same PC that had the formatting issues?

Can you type ANY_TO_REAL in structured text and compile it?

I only get Any_To_Lreal...as far as conversions

Is this the same PC that had the formatting issues?

No this is a different one...go figure.

What version 12?

When are you going to shave

That is interesting...It shows up under ST

What version 12?

When are you going to shave

Both are version 12.00.00...I lost my razor.

Wanted to give an update on this, I finally figured it out. The ANY-TO-REAL isn't missing, in the Logix theme it is called the STOR instruction. This one stumped me for a while since the STOR in Studio 5000 is a String to Real instruction. Here is a video I did explaining it.

Thanks for the update Tim... also glad you found the razor

 

[TimWilborne]

Haha, who knows, maybe I'll clean shave for our next series together...probably not.

Use STOR. When you are in "Logix" theme, it changes the name of the instruction from Any_To_Real to whatever its called in Logix5000.

 

[TimWilborne]

Yes, that is what the video shows. Still seems a little strange. STOR is String to Real, not exactly "Any to real". Plus the STOR isn't mentioned anywhere in the help.

So since we are on CCW missing.... anyone figure out how to address a output word? I am still using V12 but I cant find it

I would like to figure this one out also. I've only been able to copy them bit by bit to an integer.
