	Regards, Jacek What is confusing you is the fact that you never see a number but always its digit representation. So you end up thinking that the number is the representation. - Andrej Bauer Any claims against me - based on whatever legal reason - resulting from the use of any code and/or ideas presented on this forum shall be excluded. #StayWithUkraine

S5TIME formatted values are a bit different (they are dating back to S5 days and still areBCD basedand have additional time base bits in, see Step 7 help for more on its format if interested). Step 7 does however has FC33 (S5TI_TIM) in the IEC librarywhich converts an S5TIME formatted value into a TIME formatted (DINT) value (after which you can use the above described simple DTR). And just in case, FC40 (TIM_S5TI) in the IEC librarydoes the reverse of FC33. I hope this helps
