Hey guys,

I'm trying to use an I/O field from my HMI (KTP600) to set the preset time (or whatever PT stands for) in minutes. I set the units to min, but when i type it in, and monitor the values in online mode, it still comes up in milliseconds. the i/o field writes to a "time" value in a DB. any solutions?

thanks a million in advance :)

Hello,

You can see how you can display in WinCC V11 a timer of the plc.

How do you specify the runtime of a timer by means of an operator panel and how do you output the remaining runtime?

I just need to know if there is a way to set the PT in minutes through an i/o field through the hmi. ms will not do, and i would rather not have to multiply it by 60000 :P
