Hi guys, I am (via a transaction management software) recieving a high and low number representing a moment in time from an Allen Bradley 1756-L61, 5561 ControlLogix PLC. Revision 19.11. I am no PLC programmer, have no access to this device and I have been told that the output being sent to the transaction server will not be changing. I am currently working in Oracle 11, so forgive the PLC ignorance. All I need to know is, what math do I need to do to those two numbers to get a single number, preferrably EPOCH (seconds from 1970-01-01)? I cannot see the math that creates these two numbers which makes it difficult to reverse engineer the function. I have searched the net and have come up frustratingly empty handed, partly because I do not speak your speak so am probably not using the right key words to search with. Also, when the low bits represent a negative number, does it need to be treated differently? A million thank you's for your help!
