Time Data Conversion into Seconds
For a conversion from seconds into time data, please refer to F231_SEC_TO_DTBCD (see page
872).
Example:
This instruction also exists as a P instruction (for FP2/2SH, FP3/5, FP10/10SH PLC types), which
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.

Description
This function converts time data (date and time) into the number of seconds. It calculates the time
span between the specified time date and 01/01/2001 at 00:00 hours. The time data is specified in
the DUT "DTBCD".
