Binary Encoder

[Viktor Granbom]

Hi, has anyone written a binary decoder? I have a modbus register where i need to put time and date in different bits of a 16-bit register.

As an example i need to put day in bit 11-8 and month in bit 4-0.

Does it need any validation? How is the data coming in?

[Viktor Granbom]

Data is from Loxone Times and should be output to 4 x 16-bit modus registers.

I do a similar thing to build up 8-bit state bytes from eight binary inputs using the equation function block. A similar technique ought to work here. Failing that picoC can be used, of course.

Hope that % modulo works in picoc. Otherwise I have to find a new code strategy.
