Posted 14 Jan 2022 Hi. I have been thru the F1 manual and the toolbox in sysmac, i cannot figure out how to convert the elapset time from a TON, to anything the NA5 panel wants to display. Any suggestion? (Want to show how long a certain step has run for) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 14 Jan 2022 The TIME data type in the PLC is changed to a TimeSpan data type in the HMI. Just map your TON.ET to a TimeSpan HMI variable and then use a Data Display to show the TimeSpan value. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 18 Jan 2022 TimeSpan is a nice convenience but I prefer to use REAL for the flexibility. I do this for set points and elapsed time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
