Inputting from I/O: dataIn, dataInBCD
Read out a value from the I/O or Boolean variable (#mv (1 to 99), #mkv (1 to 99)) and assign it to the
specified variable.

Width
Read numeric data in BCD
from I/O.
BCD = Binary-Coded Decimal
Read out width can be set using variables or expressions.
For the commands “dataIn” and “dataInBCD”, you need to set the following 2 parameters in addition
to a variable to which an input value is assigned.
- Input Width: The number of I/Os to be used to input
- Input Destination: The smallest number between I/Os to be used to input
e.g.) If you use #genIn3 to 10, the Read Out Source is “3.”
The serial I/Os from Input Destination to Input Width are used. You cannot use I/Os that are not
serial I/O’s.
Example)
declear numeric code
dataIn code,#genIn3,8
Declare the local variable “code.”
Read out data from #genIn3 (I/O-1) to #genIn10
as a value and assign it to “code.”
declear numeric code
dataInBCD code,#genIn3,8
Declare the local variable of “code.”
Read out data from #genIn3 (I/O-1) to #genIn10
as BCD value and assign it to “code.”
Status of I/O-1
#genIn3 #genIn4 #genIn5 #genIn6 #genIn7 #genIn8 #genIn9 #genIn10
OFF OFF OFF ON OFF OFF ON OFF
Input Width 8
In the above case, the values of “code” are as below.
For the command “dataIn”, the value of “code” is 18.
For the command “dataInBCD”, the value of “code” is 12
.
Input Width can be set up to “31.” However, it cannot be extended to different I/O.
Input Width can be set up to “31.” However, the two I/Os cannot be combined.
