Hello VEE-Ites
Does anybody know how to convert a decimal Word into 16-bit binary,
or hexadecimal.
I know it can be displayed in Alphaneumeric Displays in these
formats, but ideally I need to convert to
binary to produce a bit by bit display using Alarm indicators.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated
Thank you

I've done this on a regular basis. Don't transform the integer to
binary which would be a string. Instead, use multiple FORMULA
objects, each with the formula BIT (A,x) where x is the desired bit
value to extract. Put all of these into a single User Object with one
input (the integer value) and several outputs (the bits that you
desire to monitor) and feed the output pins directly into your
indicators.
So if the first 8 bits of you integer have meaning, you have an
object with one input and 8 outputs. Each of the 8 outputs
corresponds to the logical value (0/1) of the first 8 bits and you
feed these into the set of Indicators for display. The 8 formulas
inside the UO would be - bit(A,0) - bit(A,1) - bit(A,2), etc.
I hope this conveys the concept adequately.
