Jigs_C Posts: 33 Rating: (1)	Dear in S7 you can't define data type WORD. For example in a data block DB100, suppose you want to use an integer then you define it as Address: DB100.DBW0 Name: type in an ID here Type: INT Initial Value: 0 Comment: type in the comment here. Hope this explains

DBWxxx data words. You shoulkd go to the help file and search for "elementary data types". Second, for destructo: the easiest way to do this is to use STL, which does not implement type checking. If you must do it in LAD or FBD, then open the LAD/STL/FBD Editor, menu Options, Customize, LAD/FBD and unclick the check box Type Chck of Adress; this will remove the type checking for all your program. Hope this helps, Daniel Chartier

SteveA Posts: 297 Rating: (41)	Or, if you want to retain the type checking, you can define a temporary INTEGER variable and use the MOVE function to copy the word value to the integer value. The MOVE function does no type checking. HTH, SteveA
