I got a problem with my project.
I must be convert my data from a memory location (ex: MD40 ) with the data type is "Real"
to another location (ex: MD50) with the data type is "Time".
Please help me!
How can i covert data from "Real" type to "Time" type
Thanks so much!

A variable with data type REAL is a fractional number which is stored as a 32-bit floating point number.

A variable with the data type TIME occupies one double word. The contents of the variable is interpreted as milliseconds and is stored as a 32-bit fixed point number.

Use conversion (and may be multiplication) functions.

Code: Select all

L MD40  //  45.6
L 1000.0
*R
RND
T MD50  // 45s600ms

Yury ! you're right.
Because the "Time" data type will be converted from the "Real" data type like that:

Code: Select all

EX: we have : 100000.0 "real" then
Time = 100000/1000=100/60=1
=> Time = 1minutes40second0minlisecond

Thanks so much.

Many thanks.
