Translation from the Slovak text

Pavol Chramazda

Hi everyone,

I'm a bit new here, but I need some advice on a similar problem to this one. But I really don't know how to do it. I have an analog sensor that I use to convert position. I need to send this value to the robot using profinet. A robotics engineer suggested a solution for sending using 16 bits, where he reads the real value. But how do I make a program where I want to express, for example, the real number 50000 using 16 DQ? I made a DB where I created an array [0...15] bool. But I don't know what to do next?

 Hello Pavol;

This Siemens forum brings together participants from many countries, and many of these do not understand Slovak. To make our discussions easier, we have selected English as a common language on the forum. Please write to us using English on your next visit. I am using Google Translate to write to you now.

The original discussion was asking about coverting a numeric value to digital signals. Is this what you want to do, or are you looking to send the position value from your analog sensor to your robot using Profinet?

Please detail what you are attempting:

- what CPU are you using?

- what model of robot are you controlling, and does it have a Profinet interface?

- do you have the gsdml file to integrate your robot in the Step 7 configuration?

- do you have the profinet instruction manual of the robot so you can know what register to use to write a position command to the robot?

Hope this helps,

Daniel Chartier
