Reading I/O Channels

[Akeold]

I have to read the address 4000.00 which is an internal boolean variable (I/O Channel). How should I set this address on FINS read node?

Hello, sorry for my late reply. Right now the only way to extract boolean values from addresses is to add a function block

const reverseString = str => (str === '') ? '' : reverseString(str.substr(1)) + str.charAt(0);  // Reverse string function
const numberToBits = value => reverseString(value.toString(2).padStart(16, '0')).split('').map(x => +x);   // Number to Bit conversion

let targetAddress = msg.payload[0] // Use the first returned (address) value from OMRON Read block, for example '4000'

let targetBits = numberToBits(targetAddress) // Converted bit array

let target_00 = targetBits[0]  // 4000.00  =>    0 or 1
let target_01 = targetBits[1]  // 4000.01  =>    0 or 1

return {
    payload: target_00 // return msg and do something with bit 4000.00
}
