Hello,

I have 157 2 byte arrays and i want to convert those to uint values and then save all of them to one array.

I have (those are measured values presenting distances when converted).
aValue1 : ARRAY [0..1] OF BYTE := [07,DE];
.
.
aValue157 : ARRAY[0..1] OF BYTE := [00, 8F];

I want:
aValues : ARRAY [0..156] OF UINT :=[2014,...143];

has anyone any idea? i converted aValue1 to HEXSTRING because i though i can use HEXCHRNIBBLE_TO_BYTE, but this function is only for string(1) and i have after conversion '07 DE'.

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:

How about using a UNION?

Example:

TYPE COMBINEDBYTES
UNION
    abyValue : ARRAY[0..156,0..1] OF BYTE;
    auiValue : ARRAY[0..156] OF UINT;
END_UNION
END_TYPE
PROGRAM PLC_PRG
VAR
    union_CombinedValues : COMBINEDBYTES;
END_VAR
union_CombinedValues[0,0] := 16#DE; //Assign value of 222 to union member
union_CombinedValues[0,1] := 16#07; //Assign value of 7 to union member
//Result (auiValue[0] = 2014);
union_CombinedValues[1,0] := 16#DF; //Assign value of 223 to union member
union_CombinedValues[1,1] := 16#07; //Assign value of 7 to union member
//Result (auiValue[1] = 2015);
