|---|---|---|---|
4 | 52 | The output string is larger than the destination | Create a new string type that is large enough for the output string. Use the new string type as the data type for the destination. |

Execution

Prescan | N/A |
Rung-condition-in is false | N/A |
Rung-condition-in is true | The instruction executes. |
Postscan | N/A |
Examples
When send_data is set, the RTOS instruction converts the value in data_1 to a string of ASCII characters and places the result in data_1_ascii. Subsequent rungs insert or concatenate data_1_ascii with other strings to produce a complete message for a display terminal.
