Display part number
Instructions: Instructions: Instructions: Instructions:
The following STEP 7 program can be used to convert an available seconds value into days, hours,
minutes and seconds and output the results accordingly.
Fig. 01
Table 01 shows the input and output parameters with the data types and value ranges of function
block FB1. The seconds value is input via the input parameter "value" and output of the converted
value is via the output parameters "days", "hours", "min", "sec", or with the parameter
"CounterString" (format: day:hours:minutes:seconds).
