Title: Clock/Timer object format HH:MM:SS
Post by: martinav on May 07, 2021, 09:02:47 AM

I would like to take a seconds counter and put it into HH:MM:SS format in my HMI.  I'm not seeing an object or format to do this.  I presume I will need to do the math in the PLC, then send over three bits??  MHR1:MHR2:MHR3 in essence?  I also think it will take a lot of trial and error placement, as label locations during run-time are way off from their placement in edit mode.
