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
