How, through what interface do you get the value from PLC?
Why not converting it on plc?
Try using the DIV command to convert the Real number to an Integer. The DIV command is for Integer division and will return only the quotient. R[1] is Real, R[2] is new Integer. R[2]=R[1] DIV 1 This will divide R[1] by 1 and will set R[2] to the Integer value of R[1].

This is a good suggestion.
Also, adding before division +0.5 to positive value or -0.5 to negative one, will result in correctly rounded integer, instead of truncated.
Tell the PLC programmer to send it as an integer. If they are using explicit messaging this is done by changing class to either 6c or 6b.

Why not do it on the PLC like hermann and HawkME mentioned ?
Yes, you can do it with the robot but is going to add a bit of processing time.
What is the PLC guy telling you ? I just want to have a laugh
You can use Karel to do it
TRUNC(real_value)
(TRUNC(real_value)) this will output the value of the integer.
