Get current time using ST Code worksheet.

dimitrismvrm

Hello everyone,

How can I get the current time using ST Code worksheet?

I tried this  executionTimeElapsed := TON(SysTime() - lastExecutionTime >= TIME_TO_DINT(100), executionTimeElapsed);

but SysTime() says "Parameter expected"

Thank you in advance,

DM

RTC is a global struct you can access if it is sufficient with seconds and not milliseconds.

 RTC_TYPE : STRUCT

    HOURS : USINT;

    MINUTES : USINT;

    SECONDS : USINT;

    DAY : USINT;

    MONTH : USINT;

    YEAR : UINT;

END_STRUCT

If you need higher resolution time, you can use the FB  PBCL_DateTimeGet_1 from the PLCnext Base library
