FactoryTalk - Seconds to MM:SS

ShacharY · Oct 14, 2015

Hey,
I'm trying to convert seconds to MM:SS view.
using tag: PLC\IN_CCD_TIME (integer) from PLC timer.
Numeric tag (HMI) MM: PLC\IN_CCD_TIME % 3600 / 60 SS: PLC\IN_CCD_TIME % 60
when seconds reach 59 then switch to 00, the minutes not added 1 only when seconds pass the 30. i know that's all about floating point.
Must to use seconds on PLC and use it for HMI as MM:SS.

need any help to use seconds as MM:SS,
Thanks!

What is 3600 doing anywhere in there?
Minutes: Seconds / 60.
Seconds: Seconds % 60.

Hey rdrast,
I know about the 3600 that isn't relevant.
The problem is about counting the MM. for example:
(PLC) T4-XX (sec) & (HMI) Elapsed Time - MM:SS
T4-20 Elapsed Time-00:20
T4-29 Elapsed Time-00:29
T4-31 Elapsed Time-01:31
T4-59 Elapsed Time-01:59
T4-60 Elapsed Time-01:00
T4-61 Elapsed Time-01:01
T4-89 Elapsed Time-01:29
T4-90 Elapsed Time-02:30
T4-91 Elapsed Time-02:31

The T4 (INT) at any time passing the 0.5% after HMI division, the MM add 1. and after passing the 59 sec the MM not added 1.

Thanks.

Use only integer math. No floating point.
And your table is completely wrong anyway. How is 29 = 29 seconds, but you want 31 = 1 Minute, 31 seconds?

ShacharY · Oct 15, 2015

I'm using INT.
As you said, the table is completely wrong but this is how i see the calculation of the MM in the HMI.

Suspecting some rounding with the /-function.
Where 0.5 is considered 1.

EDIT:

((PLC\IN_CCD_TIME % 3600) - ((PLC\IN_CCD_TIME % 3600) %60)) / 60

That will prevent any rounding issues. In theory; I think. Not tested. Not sure it's a valid expression.

But why do this in the HMI, not in the PLC? (just wondering)

Try this:

This example converts milliseconds to hour min secs.

Super! that's work perfect!
Many thanks!

Another way...

See also...

7771 - Displaying a Timer Accumulator value in Hour:Minute:Second format
Access Level: TechConnect

In short...

Create two numeric displays and use these expressions...

For minutes: ( ({[ControlLogix]Timer.acc}%3600000)/ 1000)/60

For seconds: ({[ControlLogix]Timer.acc}%60000)/ 1000

Regards,
George
