Operands
| Operand | Description |
|---|---|
| S | The first operand. Entries are gray code WORD data registers or constants. The value range is 0 ~ 65,535 (216-1) (gray code). |
| D | The second operand. Entries are only WORD data registers. This is where the conversion is saved. |
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 converting S exceeds the value range of the data register D. F11.0 turns ON when the value of the data for S is negative.
Ladder Diagram Examples
GBIN

The GBIN instruction converts a gray code WORD value, S, into a binary WORD value and saves the conversion in an assigned WORD data register, D.

When the contact, M1.8, is powered ON (1), the value of the gray code WORD data register, D40, 1,234, is converted into binary notation. The value of the conversion, 1,891, is saved in the WORD data register, D42.

GBINP

The GBINP one-shot instruction converts a gray code WORD value, S, into a binary WORD value and saves the conversion in an assigned WORD data register, D. Every time this instruction executes, it energizes the output only once.

When the contact, M1.6, is powered ON (1), the value of the gray code WORD data register, D45, 30,000, is converted into binary notation. The value of the conversion, 23,007, is saved in the WORD data register, D47.
