All,

i nto fully get it. I read trough some froums but not finaly make it running. so I try to ask. Hopefully anybody has the kindness to answers this hopefully easy questiosn

I have an array of SINT which comes out of a hardware module.
The array has size of 200 sint values

I need this in an array of 1600 boolean. Is there any copy logic i can use for this?

I can not use the "cps"-command this is faulted out by RS5000.

Thanks The Doc
 
I'm thinking you'd have to create a UDT with 1600 BOOL's. The COP/CPS will work with UDT's, not BOOL arrays directly.
 
Maybe I missunderstand, but I think this is exactly what i do.

If you check the picture I added.(I checked also CPS with same result)

OP20ConvAAD1:I.Data[60] --> Starting where the data
is located

AdjSiemensPLC.Data.fromSiem2Rock.Siemens_Alarms --> UDT of boolean[1600]

Length --> 1600 for the boolean values

Thanks
The Doc
 
The instruction help for COP/CPS doesn't show a BOOL as a supported data type for source or destination, so you probably won't be able to do this directly. I get "Invalid data type" when I try to use a BOOL tag (or element of a BOOL array) as the destination. You'll probably have to do some brute force bit banging to transfer the data over.


What's your end goal? What exactly are you going to do with the data in the BOOL array?
 
If the udt has only the 1600 booleans in it, can you CPS the SINT array to the UDT I.E. the UDT., not the boolean array in the UDT, as the destination?
 
I agree, treat the array of SINT like a contiguous block of data and copy it to the array of Bools configured as a UDT, it can't be done as a bool array but if the Bool array is a UDT it can.
