Example:
Function Block Diagram - MAKE_TIME_OF_DAY:
The MAKE_TIME_OF_DAY function outputs a time of day value that is made up from the components supplied via its inputs (the hour is taken from the H input, minute from the MI input, seconds from the S input and the milliseconds from the MS input). On a live system, the inputs for a MAKE_TIME_OF_DAY function are often the results of a calculation, with the inputs being variable depending on the outputs of other functions etc.
ST Program - MAKE_TIME_OF_DAY:
The syntax for a MAKE_TIME_OF_DAY function in an ST Program is:
- Output := MAKE_TIME_OF_DAY (H, MI, S, MS);
Where Output, H, MI, S and MS are defined as variables earlier in the ST program.
Alternatively, you can use the following syntax:
- Output := MAKE_TIME_OF_DAY (H:= 18, MI:= 25, S:= 13, MS:= 32);
Where the numbers are the input values (in this case, they are the same numbers as used in the Function Block Diagram example above).
