VB to VD convert?

Hello everyone...


I'm stuck on something .. Below I wrote you a piece of code from an existing program.

VW233 is the PLC time and VW810 is the first start time of a pump and VW812 is the second operating time.

Can I convert VW233, for example to VD233?

LD SM0.0
MOVB VB233, VB1505
IBCD VW1504

LDW= VW233, VW810
A I0.0
S M25.0, 1
LDW= VW233, VW812
A I0.0
S M25.1, 1


I want to use both VW233 and VD233 in the program. Can in do that?

Thank you....

There is a lack of information like what PLC is it ?, however, at a guess if it is like other PLC's VW means word VD means double word. In PLC's I have used if you use Double words it takes up two words for example MW100 is word 100 however MD100 is MW100 & MW101 so takes up the next word.
You will have to ensure that the next word is not used. also if you intend using the VW233 & VD233 for different applications then you will have conflict of data.
Also if the logic requires a word address and you supply a double word it may not compile & create an error, it really depends on the programming language.

That STL code looks like it's from the S7-200.

You will overlap.

VW233 consists of bytes VB233 (high byte) & VB234 (low byte).

VD233 consists of VB233, VB234, VB235 and VB236 (high byte to low byte).
