How can I set the duration of a s7 timer in HMI? I need the timer TW input to be read from a word in a DB. I've defined the word (DB7.DBW70) as S5TIME, but if I write DB7.DBW70 in the timer TW input a type conflict is generated...
 
Assigning an address with S5TIME type must work.
Have you saved the DB after changing the type ?
Also, try to close and reopen the FB or FC where you are programming the timer.
 
always save and download....

1 day i forget to download 1 of the db i've changed and searched a very long time what was happening....I was (*&?%$#
