FB_EcDcTimeCtrl

FB_EcDcTimeCtrl 1:

With this function block single components like year, month, day etc. of a 64 bit TwinCAT "Distributed Clock System Time" variable can be read. The function block contains several A_GetXYZ actions. After calling the wanted action the value of the XYZ component in the get-output variable is available. The put input parameter is not yet used.

The function block contains the following actions:

A_GetYear;
A_GetMonth;
A_GetDay;
A_GetDayOfWeek;
A_GetHour;
A_GetMinute;
A_GetSecond;
A_GetMilli;
A_GetMicro;
A_GetNano;

VAR_IN_OUT

    wSecond     : WORD;
    wMilli      : WORD;
    wMicro      : WORD;
    wNano       : WORD;
END_VAR

dcTime := F_GetCurDcTickTime();

fbCtrl.A_GetYear( in := dcTime, get => wYear );
