Operands
| Operand | Description |
|---|---|
| S | The first operand. Entries are signed WORD data registers or constants. This is the value to be converted to ASCII code. The signed value range is -32,768 ~ 32,767 (216). The unsigned value range is 0 ~ 65,535 (216-1). The Hexadecimal value range is H0000 ~ HFFFF. |
| D | The second operand. Entries are only ASCII WORD data registers. This is where the conversion is saved. This requires 3 WORD data registers. |
Notice
Error Flag (F11.0) Notice
The error flag, F11.0, will be ON for one scan when the address of the data register assigned by @D exceeds the range of the data register, D. The range of the data register, D, is dependent on the CPU type. F11.0 turns ON when the value of the data for processing exceeds the data register assigned to D.
Instruction Behavior
The BINDA and BINDAP instructions behave as follows:
- Converted data from the value, S, is saved into 3 data registers starting at the data register, D.
- If the value, S, is positive:
- The sign H20, ” ” (space in ASCII), will be stored in the lower BYTE of the data register, D.
- If the value, S, is negative:
- The sign H2D, “-” (ASCII), will be stored in the lower BYTE of the data register, D.
- The ones digit of the conversion result is stored in the upper BYTE of the data register, D+2.
- H20 will be stored in the destination data registers for the leading zeros of valid digits.
Ladder Diagram Examples
BINDA

The BINDA instruction converts a WORD value, S, from decimal notation into ASCII code. The conversion result is saved in 3 assigned WORD data registers starting at the data register, D.

When the contact, M0.0, is powered ON (1), the BINDA instruction converts the binary data register, D0, into ASCII code.

The result of the conversion is saved in three ASCII data registers, D2, D3, and D4.

BINDAP

The BINDAP one-shot instruction converts a WORD value, S, from decimal notation into ASCII code. The conversion result is saved in 3 assigned WORD data registers starting at the data register, D. Every time this instruction executes, it energizes the output only once.

When the contact, M0.1, is powered ON (1), the BINDAP instruction converts the binary data register, D5, into ASCII code.

The result of the conversion is saved in three ASCII data registers, D7, D8, and D9.
