h:min:s -> s conversion
The converted seconds data is stored in the 32-bit area specified by d_SECBCD. All hours,
minutes, and seconds data to convert and the converted seconds data is BCD. The max. data input
value is 9,999 hours, 59 minutes and 59 seconds, which will be converted to 35,999,999 seconds

is only executed at the rising edge of the EN trigger. Select [Insert P instruction] from the
"Instructions" pane if you require a P instruction. To facilitate reuse, the instruction then appears
under "Recently used" in the pop-up menu. Press <Ctrl>+<Shift>+<v> within the programming
area to open the list of recently used elements.
