WallClockTime - Conversions

[pumpkins 0]

I have an application that requires me to add a certain number of minutes to the current time and display this in a scada package. I'm using a ControlLogix 5000 processor programming with RSLogix 5000. Due to the fact that when adding these minutes the clock may tick over an hour or even a new day, my question is as follows: Is there any easy way to add the minutes (in microsecond format) to the base WallClockTime counter and convert that to the hours / minutes / seconds i require to display? I have written a structured text routine to add minutes to the current clock and check if a day or hour has ticked over, but i was wondering if anyone had a better way of doing it. Cheers.

Hi, You can only make a single operation, adding a factor directly in registers S[18] to S[24] and storing the result in a simple integer registers. For example: CPT N7[10] S[23] + 3 This instruction only add 3 to S[23](minutes) and stores in the integer N7[10] I hope it be useful Regards!
