When I type a value of a variable of Timer type inside the RECIPE module when I press OK button I don't see the correct value. I try to explain better: if I type 2,0 after to press OK I cansee 2,0 (is OK), but if I type 2,1 I see 0,2. I tried to change numbers of digit after 0 (1,2,3) but it doesn't change anithing. If I use an IO field I don't have this problem. Do Imake some mistake? Please help meI would likeavoid to set the variable of real type and then convert it in Timer format into PLC .

Normaly the user give for sample "50" second in the input field and not 50.0 There are sample FAQ -> http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/23992560 maybe this could be helpful for you regards,
