Typecast UINT(expression)

The UINT typecast operator is used to convert an expression to an UINT type. If the typecast operator is used on a "larger" type, truncation will occur.

Example:

INCLUDE rtcu.inc
 
VAR
   a : UINT; 
   b : DINT;
END_VAR;
 
PROGRAM test;
 
// Convert 'b' which is a DINT type to a UINT (truncation will occur)
a := UINT(b);
 
END_PROGRAM;
