F231_SEC_TO_DTBCD
Conversion of Seconds into Time Data
For a conversion from time data into seconds, please refer to F230_DTBCD_TO_SEC (see page
871).
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.
