Aret Posts: 2348 Rating: (264)	Shortly - S5Time format (which is used for timers) has following structure: xxTT 1111 2222 3333, where x bits are not used, TT defines time base (00-10ms, 01- 100ms, 10 - 1s, 11 - 10s), 123 - BCD coded integer (0..999). S5Time = int*time_base. If you need to set times from OP - no problem - transfer it as int variable to PLC, then ITB instruction , then adding timebase (shifted) would produce S5Time. In the case of different timebases (for ex. on HMI range for times is from 0,1s to 10 min) it's more complicated, but that can be done.

Aret Posts: 2348 Rating: (264)	This word is S5TimeYou just load it into accu and start timer^) Soyourcodewouldlooklike (in STL): L "time_from_OP" //integer 0..999 ITB L "timebase_from_OP" //integer 0..3 SLD 12 OW T "timeout" //S5Timу variable for dealing with timer
