Yes. See here how to do it (only available since TwinCAT 3.1.4024.x or CODESYS 3.5.14.0)
TL;DR, in short, use the to_string attribute on the Enum and TO_STRING function to get the string:
{attribute 'to_string'}
TYPE ENUM_FUNCTIONS :
...
END_TYPE
myEnum: ENUM_FUNCTIONS;
str: STRING := TO_STRING(myEnum);
How do I get String in the position 5 of the Enum ??
e: ENUM_FUNCTIONS := 4;str: STRING := TO_STRING(e);Keep in mind that this is only true if you don't manually specify the enum member values , because by default the first one will be equal to 0, then 1, 2 and so on!Forgot to mention, but if you get any error while trying
e: ENUM_FUNCTIONS := 4;, then make sure you aren't using{attribute 'strict'}on your enum!
