How can I get the hours value from a "Hours Counter"

Hi. I am trying to set an automatic switch between two motors after a certain time and I am using the "Hours Counter" for maintenance purposes. Is it possible to get the value from this counter for use with other analog function blocks?

Hi. I figured out what I was doing wrong. When adding a value to the VM-Mapping and setting the address to 0 I thought I should use address 0 on the analog input as well. When looking through your example from another post I realized you increased this by 2. May I ask why it is like this?

Thanks.

Hi. I believe the signed integer uses the first bit to tell if the value is negative or positive. 16 bits (WORD) has 16 binary values and 32 bits (DWORD) has 32 binary values. Everything I have learned about Logo! programming have been self taught or from the occasional post in this forum. I think I have come a long way but of course I have more to learn. I am very grateful for the help you and others provide in this forum and I hope you don't feel discouraged by stupid questions from me and others. I will look further into the examples you provided and try to learn from them. 

Thanks :-)
