ANY_TO_STRINGPLCopen motion icon

Operator - Converts the input into string value.

Inputs

IN : ANY   Input value

Outputs

Q : STRING Value converted to string

Remarks

For BOOL input data types, the output is '1' or '0' for TRUE and FALSE respectively. For DINT, REAL or TIME input data types, the output is the string representation of the input number. It is a number of milliseconds for TIME inputs. In FFLD language, the conversion is executed only if the input rung (EN) is TRUE. The output rung (ENO) keeps the same value as the input rung. In ILClosed"Instruction list" This is a low-level language and resembles assembly language, the ANY_TO_STRING function converts the current result.
