Is there a CoDeSys function to convert an integer value to a time value? i.e. I need to set a timer interval in seconds to a specific integer value received over CAN
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
and yes i know if you do INT_TO_TIME is good.
keep in mind the max.
if needed more use a INT_TO_REAL then multiply it and make a convert to time by REAL_TO_TIME
dependiong of version the rounding is false. but it works
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
One more hint: DINT_TO_TIME converts a double integer into the time format.
As in INT_TO_TIME, "100" will be converted into 100 ms. However, the DINT range is much wider. 2,147,483,647 milliseconds are equal to 596 and a half hours. Is that enough?

Hello
There are a lot of conversion operators if you press F2.
Just a small example, in ST :
VAR
Val:INT;
Mytime:TIME;
END_VAR
Program :
MyTime:=INT_TO_TIME(Val);
After running the program :
For Val=100 ==> MyTime=T#100ms
For Val=1000 ==>MyTime=T#1s 0ms
Hoping to be helpful

Thanks Guys.
I did find a way of making the conversion via pointers just after I posted. However the INT_TO.. conversion is much neater.
