Type conversion functions

Below are the standard functions for converting a data into another data type:

ANY_TO_BOOL	converts to Boolean
ANY_TO_SINT / ANY_TO_USINT	converts to small (8 bit) integer
ANY_TO_INT / ANY_TO_UINT	converts to 16 bit integer
ANY_TO_DINT / ANY_TO_UDINT	converts to integer (32 bit - default)
ANY_TO_LINT / ANY_TO_ULINT	converts to long (64 bit) integer
ANY_TO_REAL	converts to real
ANY_TO_LREAL	converts to double precision real
ANY_TO_TIME	converts to time
ANY_TO_STRING	converts to character string

Below are the standard functions performing conversions in BCD format (*):

BIN_TO_BCD	converts a binary value to a BCD value
BCD_TO_BIN	converts a BCD value to a binary value
