BYTE_TO_TIME
BYTE_TO_TIME
This function converts a BYTE variable to a TIME variable.
If you omit an input or output parameter, a building error will occur.
This function converts BYTE data In to TIME data Out.
To convert TIME data to BYTE data, refer to TIME_TO_BYTE.
• The input condition depends on whether the output is safety data or standard data. If the condition is
not met, a building error will occur.
• If you set a safety data type variable for the output terminal, set a safety data type variable for the
input terminal as well.
• If you set a standard data type variable for the output terminal, you can set either a safety data type
variable or a standard data type variable for the input terminal.
