TIME_TO/TIME_OF_DAY Conversions

Definition

IEC operator for conversions from the variable type TIME or TIME_OF_DAY to a different type.

Syntax

TIME_TO_<data type>

TOD_TO_<data type>

Conversion Results

The time will be stored internally in a DWORD in milliseconds (beginning with 12:00 A.M. for the TIME_OF_DAY variable). This value will then be converted.

In case of type STRING the result is a time constant.

Examples in ST

Examples in ST with conversion results:

Example	Result
str := TIME_TO_STRING(T#12ms);	'T#12ms'
dw := TIME_TO_DWORD(T#5m);	300000
si := TOD_TO_SINT(TOD#00:00:00.012);	12

Examples in IL

Examples in IL with conversion results:

Example	Result
LD T#12ms TIME_TO_STRI... ST str	'T#12ms'
LD T#300000ms TIME_TO_DWORD ST dw	300000
LD TOD#00:00:00.012 TIME_TO_SINT ST si	12
