TON.ET To any other format?

[Stefan009]

Hi.

I have been thru the F1 manual and the toolbox in sysmac, i cannot figure out how to convert the elapset time from a TON, to anything the NA5 panel wants to display.

Any suggestion? (Want to show how long a certain step has run for)

The TIME data type in the PLC is changed to a TimeSpan data type in the HMI. Just map your TON.ET to a TimeSpan HMI variable and then use a Data Display to show the TimeSpan value.

Thanks.

I was trying with both label and datetime components and forgot about the data display.

TimeSpan is a nice convenience but I prefer to use REAL for the flexibility. I do this for set points and elapsed time.
