converting timer to display minutes and seconds

[bill n tn 0]

I am creating a count down timer in a control logix , I have subtracted the acc from the preset and dumping this in a dint called remaining time and i want to display this in minutes and seconds. I can get the minutes working but I am having trouble with the seconds. I am div the remaining time by 60000 to get the minutes and putting this into a dint called minutes. I have tried div tag minutes buy 1000 and this does not work. I am displaying this in a PV+. I am fairly new to Allen Bradley, any suggestions?

Okay let me lay out what I am reading from your post. 1. You have a tag called CountDownTimer. 2. You are doing math as follows : CountDownTimer.PRE - CountDownTimer.ACC = TimeRemaining {type DINT} 3. You are doing math as follows : TimeRemaining DIV 60000 = MinutesRemaining {type DINT} 4. You need to do the following math to get the SecondsRemaining {type DINT} 4a. TimeRemaining DIV 60000 = MinutesRemainingFloat {type REAL} 4b. MinutesRemainingFloat {type REAL} - MinutesRemaining {type DINT} = SecondsRemainingFloat {type REAL} 4c. SecondsRemainingFloat {type REAL} MUL 60 = SecondsRemaining {type DINT} Hope the above is clear enough. There are other ways but this one will do.

at one time I was using the real(floating point) but I was div by 60 instead of multiplying. Thanks for the help!!!!!
