How do I setup a variable Timer?

Hi All How do I set my timers time to variable so that it can be controlled by the omron HMI?

You use an address for the setpoint. In the example below, I am using D0 as the setpoint. Then just have your HMI write the value into D0. Make sure that the HMI is writing the correct format however. If using the TIM instruction, it needs to be BCD. If using the TIMX instruction it needs to be binary (integer).
