Binary-Time LWORD format specification
The TwinCAT Binary-Time components are coded in LWORD in the following way:
Bit | Component | Type | Value range | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
0..31 | timeOfDay | TOD | 0..16#05265BFF | Number of milliseconds since midnight of the current day. "16#05265BFF"=23:59:59 and 999 ms=86399999 ms. |
32..47 | day | WORD | 0..16#FFFF | Number of days since January 1, 1984. |
48..63 | reserved | WORD | 0 | These bits are not used. Default: |
