StatusStringToStatusEnum

Description

The StatusStringToStatusEnum component is used to convert text to a list value.

Implementation

The entry must be linked to a text that must match an item in the list defined in the facets. The input value can take 3 forms to define the element:

• Its display name (allowing special characters)
• Its name (with special characters encoded)
• Its ordinal

If the input value does not match any element of the list, then the component registers a fault.

However, if no facets are configured, if the input value corresponds to a numeric value, the enum takes the corresponding ordinal.

Properties

• Facets: Configures the elements of the list
• Out: StatusEnum output Slot. Takes the value of the input string element.
• PropagateFlags: Choose the states to propagate to the output Out
• In: Input Slot to link to the string to convert.

Example

Considering an enum with the following elements:

• 0 - On
• 1 - Auto
• 2 - Stopped

If the input value is "0" or "On" then the output of the enum will be set to "On".
