BOOL_TO_DINT
BOOL_TO_DINT
This function converts a BOOL variable to a DINT variable.
If you omit an input or output parameter, a building error will occur.
This function converts BOOL data In to DINT data Out.
If the value of In is FALSE, the value of Out is DINT#0.
If the value of In is TRUE, the value of Out is DINT#1.
To check for DINT data, refer to DINT_TO_BOOL.
• The input condition depends on whether the output is safety data or standard data. If the condition is
not met, a building error will occur.
• If you set a safety data type variable for the output terminal, set a safety data type variable for the
input terminal as well.
• If you set a standard data type variable for the output terminal, you can set either a safety data type
variable or a standard data type variable for the input terminal.

Data Type Conversion Instructions

Explains instructions for converting data types between different formats.

Boolean Operation Instructions

Describes instructions for performing logical Boolean operations.

Math Instructions

Details instructions for arithmetic operations on integers and durations.

Comparison Instructions

Instructions for comparing values of variables.

Selection Instructions

Instructions for selecting values based on conditions.

Safety Standard Function Blocks

Safety Standard Function Block Instructions

Lists and describes safety standard function block instructions.

SF_CTD

Decrements the counter value when the counter input signal is received.

SF_CTU

Increments the counter value when the counter input signal is received.

SF_CTUD

Creates an up-down counter operating on up and down counter inputs.

SF_F_TRIG

Outputs TRUE for one task period when the input signal changes to FALSE.

SF_R_TRIG

Outputs TRUE for one task period when the input signal changes to TRUE.

SF_RS

Retains the value of a SAFEBOOL variable, giving priority to Reset.

SF_SR

Retains the value of a SAFEBOOL variable, giving priority to Set.

SF_TOF

Outputs FALSE when the set time elapses after the timer starts.

SF_TON

Outputs TRUE when the set time elapses after the timer starts.

SF_TP

Outputs TRUE during the set time after the timer starts.

Safety Function Blocks

General Rules for Safety Function Blocks

Provides general rules for safety function blocks, including rules specific to FBs.

Safety Function Block Instructions

Lists and describes various safety function blocks.
