TIA Portal: How to copy data struct to Bytes

[AmazingTrans]

Hi everyone!

I am working on a Siemens plc (1200/1500), and I have two instruction that i have to perform.

A) data structure (40 bools, 40 bytes), and I have to copy into an array of USINT [0..601] format.

B) data structure (32 bools, 20 bytes, 16 bools, 10 bytes), and I have to copy into an array of USINT [0..202] format.

What are the methods of doing this efficiently ?

Take a look at serialize / deserialize, it's the best method if you wan't to stay all symbolic.

Or if you are old school and think that all this optimised access is the work of the devil you can use POKE_BLK.
