UINT data type variable/tag

[Ilasca Marius Cornel]

Hello,

It is possible to change form INT to UINT a variable data type?
For the moment, I receive the value -32766 (Local:6:I.Ch0Data) from analogue device (1769-IF4XOF2F/A), and I need to be positive, not with "-". I changed the wiring, but no succes. The settings for input configuration is 0V to 10 V (60 Hz, Raw/Proportional).
Someone have any idea? I cannot find to change data type to USINT on allen bradley...
Thanks

Usually integers use 16 bits. A signed integer uses the highest bit for +/- limiting the range of the integer to what the remaining 15 bits can represent.
You can AND the word with EFFF to ensure that the highest bit is always 0. This will make the value positive.

Hope this helps you out.
