Example:
Function Block Diagram - SUB_TOD_TIME:
A NOW function is used to provide the current time for a SUB_TOD_TIME function. As the NOW function provides a date time value, a DT_TO_TOD function has to be used to convert the NOW output into a TOD value that can be used as an input by the SUB_TOD_TIME function.
For its other input, the SUB_TOD_TIME function has a constant that is set to T#35m (35 minutes):
The SUB_TOD_TIME function returns a time value that is the result of the current time - 35 minutes.
ST Program - SUB_TOD_TIME:
The syntax for a SUB_TOD_TIME function in an ST Program is:
- Output := SUB_TOD_TIME (Input 1, Input 2)
Where Output, Input 1 and Input 2 are defined as variables earlier in the ST program. Input 1 is a time of day value, Input 2 is a time value, and the Output is a time of day value.
