Library

LIB\CORE

Version

V1.0

Description

The block converts time and date to total seconds (starting at 1.1.1970, 0:00). Another output is the current weekday.

Inputs

Input	Type	Description	Default value
SEC	SINT	Seconds	0
MIN	SINT	Minutes	0
HOUR	SINT	Hours	0
DAY	SINT	Days	0
MON	SINT	Months	0
YEAR	INT	Years	0

Outputs

Output	Type	Description
TOT	UDINT	Number of seconds since 1.1.1970, 00:00 UTC
WDAY	SINT	Weekday (0 = Sun, 1 = Mon, ..., 6 = Sat)

Function

The block converts time and date to total seconds (starting at 1.1.1970, 0:00). Another integer output, wday, defines the current day of week (0 = Sunday, 1 = Monday, ..., 6 = Saturday). For example, 1.1.1970 01:00 – one hour after the reference time start (i.e. sec=0, min=0, hour=1, day=1, mon=1, year=1970) - the outputs are tot=3600, and wday=4.

Application example

The block, together with B98, is used as an auxiliary block for various time/date conversions, calculating of time spans etc.
