sint to string

[blueberry]

Hello PLC folks,
Could someone please help me out here? I am trying to convert SINT to STRING (rslogix5000) but could not get it to work.
I used BTD to move the bit from the actual SINT to my DINT then converted it with DTOS but the result was the decimal number instead of the actual ascii string number.
Thanks

Never mind folks,
I found an easier way to convert SINT to STR.

Thank you!

Is that screenshot of how you convert SINT to STR?

Yes, the screenshot is the main part that will convert sint to string. SINT is already in ASCII format so a simple COP with the specified string.len should suffice. You don't need the extra stuff counter.acc I had in there. I only used it to parse out certain data.

This was the bit I missed.
