AF1 Binary to BCD Conversion Function
The AF1 binary to BCD conversion function converts a 12-bit binary number to
a BCD number (from 0 to 4095).
How to Enter an AF1 Binary to BCD Conversion Function
To program an AF1 binary to BCD conversion function, perform the following
steps:
1. Press [SHIFT] [EAF] or [SHIFT] [SCT] on the keyboard of your
industrial terminal. Figure 3.1 appears on the CRT.
2. Enter 14, the function number for the AF1 binary to BCD conversion
function.
This entry identifies that the function entered is to perform an AF1 binary to
BCD conversion and that the processor use the data table format shown in
Figure 3.34 when executed.
