Hello,

Can you give me some advice how to configure a S5T# with non fix value. I need to config 1 to 60 minutes to variable on the timer....

L 60 //[min]

T M300 //word

S5T#M300 ----- not possible ??

should I need to change the type of the data ??

Many thanks in advanced,

Arturo

you can use just load Memmory word or DB word  in accumulator after call timer

L   W#16#10

T DB1.DBW0

L DB1.DBW0

SD  T1

---------------

L  W#16#5

T   MW0

L    MW0

SD   T2

Ohhh thanks for your quick response green_future:

not really sure how it works, in DINT I will get from the scada value from 1 to 60 i.e. 50 [min]

L 50 [DINT]

ITB

or How to transfer the value from the scada to the W#16#500 in this case ??

look at the attachment,

many thanks for your time,

greatings

Hello.

It would be best for you to have a look at the in-software documentation. Look for "S5Time". There is a description of how the data type looks like. it is very special.

The time basis looks like:

You have made a good start with the ITB () instruction.

Assume the value that comes from the SCADA is a DINT and called "scadaValue". Assume #timerRun is the boolean tag starting the timer.

L  "scadaValue" //  minute
L  6 // ........... 6 x 10s = 60s = 1min
*D
ITB // ............ convert to BCD
L 16#0FFF // ...... only 3 BCD numbers
AW // ............. AND-masked
L 16#3000 // ...... 10s time base
OW // ............. OR for bits add
// the value in the accumulator will be used by the timer

A #timerRun

thanks #dP that was a really good solution ...
