BCD conversion

[Simon]

How do I convert an integer value in an input field to bcd on an output channel to be used by a plc?

If you only have 4 characters max, its something like this:

sum((asca(format("%04d",Value)) - 48) * {4096, 256, 16, 1})

where val is the interger value. You can pretty much make this a Conversion and apply it to your output channel. If you need more than 4 characters, just continue the array, by multiplying by 16 the biggest number:

{65536, 4096, 256, 16, 1}

and change the %04d to %05d (or however many elements you have in the array)
