    <p>I have a hardware that is communicating with the PLC over Profibus DP, that sends me 4 bytes of data in hex that is "44 79 FF FF" and in the PLC program I have declared a BYTE array for this input data. The problem is in the PLC the data I receive in my BYTE array is "66 121 255 255" which is the decimal value of the hexdecimal, but my goal is to convert that value to a REAL and when I do that I'm not getting the value I expected. </p> <p>I have created a DWORD(<strong><code>4bytesData</code></strong>) that i insert all the BYTES into. So before I insert the 4 bytes into <strong><code>4bytesData</code></strong> the bytes are: <code>in1 = 68</code> , <code>in2 = 121</code>, <code>in3 = 255</code> &amp; <code>in4 = 255</code></p> <pre><code>4bytesData := (SHL(SHL(SHL(BYTE_TO_DWORD(in1), 8) OR BYTE_TO_DWORD(in2), 8) OR BYTE_TO_DWORD(in3), 8) OR in4); realValue := DWORD_TO_REAL(4bytesData); </code></pre> <p>Where in1, in2, in3 &amp; in4 is byte 0-3.</p> <p>The value I'm getting is; <strong><code>4bytesData</code></strong> = 1148846079 &amp; <strong><code>realValue</code></strong> = 1.148846e+009</p> <p>The value I'm expecting to get from <strong><code>realValue</code></strong> is = 9.9999993896484375E2</p> <p>If i use this website ( <a href="http://babbage.cs.qc.cuny.edu/IEEE-754/index.xhtml" rel="nofollow">IEEE754 Analyzer/Converter</a> ) and converting the hex value (4479FFFF) I'm getting the value I want to, and if i insert the decimal value (1148846079) I'm getting the same value I receive in the PLC.</p> <p>I hope you understand my problem, Many thanks in Advance. </p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
