Example:
Function Block Diagram - CONCAT_D_TOD:
A CONCAT_D_TOD function has 2 inputs (in this case, the inputs are constants):
- Input 1 defines 2006-03-11 as a Date value (D#)
- Input 2 defines 10:10:00 as a Time of Day value (TOD#).
The CONCAT function concatenates the date value and time of day value. The result is a Date and Time output of 2006-03-11-10:10:00.000
ST Program - CONCAT_D_TOD:
The syntax for a CONCAT_D_TOD function in an ST Program is:
- Output := CONCAT_D_TOD (Input 1, Input 2)
Where Output, Input 1 and Input 2 are defined as variables earlier in the ST program. Each input is separated by a comma. Input 1 is a Date value, Input 2 is a Time of Day value and the Output is a Date and Time value.
