I'm curious, are you using 8 inputs, or 4 inputs and an output to scan the switch sections?

If a straight 8 bit input of consecutive inputs, one could "pack copy " to a DH register (the CLICK only allows "pack (or unpack) to (or from) a "hex " register) then "single copy " said register to a DS register to use as a regular integer. Now one potential issue of that very basic method is that the numeric value won't match what the switch is showing (e.g. 4A is not a valid decimal number, but each switch setting will have a unique value , e.g. 74 for 4A, also what looks like a normal decimal number won't be what one might expect for example switch setting 22 = 34. Copy between integer types does, I think, a straight bitwise copy without considering types. But an additional line or two of code could fix that easily enough. While I didn't load it into an actual PLC and try it, the math dialog did not give an error with: DH1 AND F0h * 10h + DH1 AND Fh with a destination of DH2, Note that when in hex mode everything has to be hex, I can imagine some parentheses could be needed, I think AND should have higher precedence than arithmetic operators, but I'm not certain.

I wish the CLICK had a simulator (or better a BRX the same price as a CLICK in which case I'd just not bother with the CLICK at all)
