tool to convert data types
« on: June 12, 2021, 10:15:32 AM »
Is anyone aware of a tool or application that can be used to convert between data types such as INT,DINT,REAL etc. outside of doing it in a PLC program?  I would like to have a handy stand-alone "calculator" to reference when programming.  I'm not sure if Excel can do this??  If not, I may attempt to create one.  Thanks.

There is an updated description in that repository, about dealing with floating-point numbers and using byte logic instead.
