variable type time didn't appear in zenon

I am trying to use a variable type time in straton but this variable didn’t appear in zenon editor,
Note that all other type appear without problem

Hi johnny,

The data type TIME is not supportet by the so called integrated solution. Therefore this variable doesn't appear in zenon Editor.

In order to exchange time values between straton and zenon just convert (any_to_*) the value to e.g. DINT.

All the best

hii,
thank you very much for your reply
and in zenon editor how can convert type DINT for example to type time

Hi Jonny,

You can convert the data type DINT into TIME format via VBA.

Another possibility is to modyfy the DINT-value in straton in order to be able to show h, min, sec in zenon. Like this:

diTime := any_to_dint (tTimeBasic);

rTimeS := trunc( (any_to_real(diTime)/1000.0 )); //truncate millisconds

diTimeSec := any_to_dint (rTimeS) - diTimeMin * 60 - diTimeHr * 3600; //calculation of seconds
diTimeMin := (any_to_dint (rTimeS / 60.0)) - diTimeHr * 60; //calculation of minutes
diTimeHr := any_to_dint (rTimeS / 3600.0); //calculation of hours
//with that you can show three numerical values in zenon

strTime := any_to_string(diTimeHr) + 'h' + any_to_string(diTimeMin)
+ 'min' + any_to_string(diTimeSec) + 's'; //concatanate in a string
//with that you can show the time in a Link text element in zenon


With these variable definitions:
VAR
tTimeBasic : TIME := T#12h13m14s ;
strTime : STRING(15) ;
rTimeS : REAL ;
diTimeSec : DINT ;
diTimeMin : DINT ;
diTimeHr : DINT ;
diTime : DINT ;
END_VAR
