TIME_TO_DWORD

TIME into DOUBLE WORD

TIME_TO_DWORD converts a value of the data type TIME into a value of the data type DWORD. The time 10ms corresponds to the value 1, e.g. an input value of T#1s is converted to the value 100 (16#64).

Parameters

Input

Unnamed input (TIME): Input data type

Output

Unnamed output (DWORD): Conversion result

Remarks

If the required data type is supported, we recommend using the overloaded instruction TO_DWORD

Example

POU header

All input and output variables used for programming this function have been declared in the POU header. The same POU header is used for all programming languages.

	VAR
		time_value: TIME:=T#0s;
		DWORD_value: DWORD:=0;
	END_VAR

This example uses variables. You can also use a constant for the input variable.

POU body

time_value of the data type TIME is converted to value of the data type DWORD and written into the output variable DWORD_value.
