Data type TIME access via Indirect Addressing with SCL

MOeZ · Mar 6, 2017

Hi,

I am facing invalid data type when i compile SCL and no luck in finding any old threads? could point me out to right direction?
Thanks.

TIME_OUT : TIME ;

WORD_TO_BLOCK_DB(INT_TO_WORD(DB_Num)).DD[4] := TIME_OUT ;

Using the AT keyword is one solution:

Code:

FUNCTION fc89:VOID
VAR_TEMP
    TIME_OUT : TIME ;
    dwTime AT TIME_OUT:DWORD;
    DB_Num:int;
END_VAR;    

WORD_TO_BLOCK_DB(INT_TO_WORD(DB_Num)).DD[4] := dwTime ; 

END_FUNCTION;

Thanks LD and Garry. I have tried data type CHAR as well and it worked.

But can I ask how do know this as I have been reading Siemens manual and didn't find right answer.
