Description
 S
1
: hour setting for time comparison, setting range: K0–K23
S
2
: minute setting for time comparison, setting range: K0–K59
S
3
: second setting for time comparison, setting range: K0–K59
S: current time of RTC
D: comparison result
 Compare the setting value of S

and the current value of start of S, and the comparison
result is stored in D.
 S is the “hour” of the current time (K0–K23) in RTC. S+1 is the “minute” of the current time
(K0–K59) in RTC. S+2 is the “second” of the current time (K0–K59) in RTC.
 Usually the current time of RTC that S designates is read by using TRD instruction and then
doing comparison by TCMP instruction. If S value exceeds the available range, it’s operation
error so the instruction is not executed, M1068 = ON.
Example
 When X10 = ON, the instruction is executed to compare the current time of RTC D20–D22 and
the setting value 12:20:45. The comparison result is stored in M10–M12. When X10 goes from
ONOFF, the instruction is not executed, but the previous ON / OFF statuses of M10–M12
remain.
