5.1.46 TIME_TO_STR(_E)
Outline
This function converts time data into string data, and outputs the data obtained by conversion.
1. Format
*1. Output variable
2. Set data
In explanation of functions, I/O variables inside ( ) are described.
Explanation of function and operation
This function converts time data stored in a device specified in into string data, and outputs the data
obtained by conversion to a device specified in .
Cautions
1) Use the function having "_E" in its name to connect a bus.
2) When handling 32-bit data in structured programs, you cannot specify 16-bit devices directly, different
from simple projects. Use labels when handling 32-bit data.
You can specify 32-bit counters directly, however, because they are 32-bit devices.
Use global labels when specifying labels.
Error
An operation error occurs in the following case. The error flag M8067 turns ON, and D8067 stores the error
code.
1) When the number of points occupied by the device specified in exceeds the range of the
corresponding device.
