MVI46-GSC - ASCII to Integer Conversion
Is there any help files or example logic for converting the ASCII data recieved to integer values?
Example.. I recieve 07 99 00 through the m-files and then copy it to N100:1 - N100:3. How do I take those three values, and convert them into one integer value of 7990?

RSLogix500 does provide ASCII to Integer and Integer to ASCII conversion instructions. Please see the Help files in RSL500 or contact Rockwell Software for additional help with using their software.

As a matter of product promotion and customer service, this is information that ProSoft should include in the manual or in a help file.
The SLC-500 does not have ASCII to Integer instructions, it has String to Integer instructions. In order to get the ASCII information from the module into integer format, you must first do a COP (Copy) instruction from the N file to an ST file.
A simple example of the ladder lagic to perform this conversion would save new users a significant amount of time when utilizing a product such as this for the first time.
