I'm trying to set the minimum value data limit of a tag named CT01_HighAlarmSet where the minimum value is CT01_Setpoint+(2*CT01PropBand)+1 using the complex statement

return (CT01_Setpoint+(2*CT01_PropBand)+1);

The problem is CT01_PropBand is a floating point number and I get the error message that returned value must be an integer. There is no error message if I omit the floating point tag. What function do I use to cast CT01_PropBand as an integer?

edit:
I tried making an internal integer tag itag1 and using

itag1 := 2*CT01_PropBand
return (CT01_Setpoint+itag1+1);

still no joy.

How about the handy dandy int() function?

It should not bark at you until it reaches the point where an assignment is made, so the tag or field containing this expression may be an integer and if so, you can wrap the whole expression like so:
return int(CT01_Setpoint+(2*CT01PropBand)+1)
I have found that int() and float() do exactly what you would expect to resolve these data type issues in expressions and scripts.

Thanks Paul.

Int() isn't listed in the function reference manual, found it buried on page 229 of the user manual. Just what I needed.
