<div class="markdown_content"><p>i do it by paralleling inputs and outputs in ver 2 so input is real and int same as output.</p></div>

<div class="markdown_content"><p><em>Originally created by:</em> fk5</p> <p>Can CoDeSys do conditional variable type identification?</p> <p>Example:<br/> I have a scale function that takes in a REAL value and scales it to some new range, then outputs a REAL. But, sometimes I’m trying to scale an INT, or a DINT, or a BYTE or SINT, etc. how can I make this function automatically recognize the input type, do a xxx_TO_REAL, run my scale function, then do a REAL_TO_xxx, then output the result as an xxx instead of a REAL? </p> <p>Any solution besides “make a different function for each variable type” would be awesome. </p> <p>Thanks!</p></div>
