(0)  Hello, Please, help me understand this.. L        KT 999.2 SD     T       1 A       T       1 =       M   254.1 L       T        1 T       MW250 I know that it means this: - Start timer 1 (on-delay) with 999s. - When time has elapsed turn on M254.1 and load current time value of T1 to MW250 as binary. Here comes the question: What time format will MW250 be loaded with...? Always milliseconds...? Or is it depending on the format I loaded the timer with..? In this case seconds... Thanks in advance, Regards Kristian

And you would get the time base in bits 13 and 14 Best regards jklm Suggestion was helpful? Thanks to rate it.
