floating point - PLC Structured text, convert decimal to real(float). Not getting the value I expect. (IEEE-754) -


i have hardware communicating plc on profibus dp, sends me 4 bytes of data in hex "44 79 ff ff" , in plc program have declared byte array input data. problem in plc data receive in byte array "66 121 255 255" decimal value of hexdecimal, goal convert value real , when i'm not getting value expected.

i have created dword(4bytesdata) insert bytes into. before insert 4 bytes 4bytesdata bytes are: in1 = 68 , in2 = 121, in3 = 255 & in4 = 255

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);

where in1, in2, in3 & in4 byte 0-3.

the value i'm getting is; 4bytesdata = 1148846079 & realvalue = 1.148846e+009

the value i'm expecting realvalue = 9.9999993896484375e2

if use website ( ieee754 analyzer/converter ) , converting hex value (4479ffff) i'm getting value want to, , if insert decimal value (1148846079) i'm getting same value receive in plc.

i hope understand problem, many in advance.

you've figured out, seems don't realize it. conversion dword_to_real taking integer (hex) value stored in 4bytesdata , converting ieee754 real format.

this not want do. 4479ffff already in ieee754 real format - you're taking value, interpreting real dword, , converting dword value real. short answer don't need conversion - 4bytesdata in correct format.

edit

follow on comments :

enter image description here

here functionblock2 delclares rin(real), rout(real) , sets rout:=rin;. gets around forced typecasting of st. nothing changing data stored in d2000 here - it's same binary data. top function block storing memory , bottom 1 reading memory. difference top rung interpreting dword (for display purposes) , bottom rung interpreting real.

edit

i've been reading beckhoff manual. seems may have other options. try perhaps declaring dword , real @ same memory location. if not, perhaps pointers let it (not sure if type restrictions apply pointers beckhoff?)

Why does Ruby on Rails generate add a blank line to the end of a file? -

running rails generate controller foo home results in: class foocontroller < application controller def home end end (there's nothing on line in actual file, blank line) is there purpose blank line? it's common use newline indicate end of line, last line. many editors (like vi, use) add in newline silently. consensus text files (especially in unix world) should end in newline, , there have been problems historically if wasn't present. why should text files end newline? the tool used count lines in file "wc" counts newlines in file, without trailing newline show 3 instead of 4. it improves readability of templates used in generator. consider: https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/master/railties/lib/rails/generators/rails/controller/templates/controller.rb to remove trailing newline, template have last line of: end<% end -%> instead of: end <% end -%> that seems less readable me. the discussion below refers ...
