DWORD_TO_TIME
This function converts a DWORD variable to a TIME variable.
If you omit an input or output parameter, a building error will occur.
This function converts DWORD data In to TIME data Out.
Example When Value of In Is DWORD#16#FFFFFFFF
• The value of Out is 49 days 17 h 2 min 47 s 295 ms (T#49d17h2m47s295ms).
To convert TIME data to DWORD data, refer to TIME_TO_DWORD.
• The input condition depends on whether the output is safety data or standard data. If the condition is
not met, a building error will occur.
• If you set a safety data type variable for the output terminal, set a safety data type variable for the
input terminal as well.
• If you set a standard data type variable for the output terminal, you can set either a safety data type
variable or a standard data type variable for the input terminal.
