clock format

[indepthmarine 0]

I am using function block Ascii_time and the output is the string ssmmhh I am trying to output a time stamp to the ascii string that gets written to a CF card; it is working but the client wants it in HHMMSS instead of SSMMHH (the seconds are not important) What instruction would you recommend? I have looked through the CJ1 reference and have not found one that I think will work. I am using CJ1 CPU13

Copy the FB, & change the Sec_BCD & Hour_BCD source words of the ASC around. This is on the last rung before the ENO condition.

I am not sure how to edit the FB, but you opened my eyes to the fact that the seconds, minutes, and hours are already in their own D words... I can simply select in the order I want. Thanks Edited 13 Jan 2010 by indepthmarine
