I bellive that setting the timer value for a timer, to for example 5 seconds, would be a normal operation from a HMI system!?

(WordToBCDWord). now is s5Time represented with 10ms base (s5T#100ms is represented as number 10 in WinCC). for change this representation is possible using linear scaling. i use representation for 1s base. This method has 1 problem. calculated value in wincc is rounded Good luck Attachment s5time.jpg (1471 Downloads)
