zbynek Posts: 14 Rating: (0)	Hello, I would like to get some advice for the following problem regarding SIMATIC S7 and WinCC flexible . There is variable in the Datablock in TIME format. I need the operator to be allowed to see and input value for this variable in the following mask: DD HH:MM:SS where DD, HH, MM, SS stand for DAYS, HOURS, MINUTES, SECONDS. I would appreciate some limit control for the individual inputs fields. Do you have some solution ?

You may need to assign an I/O field for each aspect (Hours, minutes, etc.) and then combine them to get a 'time' value. I know I've worked the other way, splitting the system time down into seperate fields to control how and where it is displayed.

zbynek Posts: 14 Rating: (0)	Hi , That it is. I need the functionality described above. But I would appreciate solution at the WinCC flexible side. Itmeans I expect some VBA script solution.
