Addressing Siemens S-300 timers in Wonderware via DAServe

[p17061]

Hello,

I need to be able to write time directly to a Siemens TON SFB4 timer. How can I do that through Wonderware Intouch using DasSiDirect server for Siemens?

Thanks

Pete

Hi,
the PT-Parameter of TON is in TIME format. TIME is a 32 bit integer, which names the time in milliseconds.

You can call the TON in your program with a separate data-block, or as a multiinstance in another FB.
Search for the adress of the PT parameter and use this adress in InTouch. Use an I/O Integer, e.g. with adress "DB1,DINT2".

Make sure that the user cannot enter a time-value of 0. With 0 ms the TON (and also TOFF) block will not let the input signal through!

Hey Thomas! Thanks for the information. It works well now!
