Best,

I have the following problem, I now have a timer, where I use the ET on a screen that I convert to a string, but unfortunately I see the following 24m30s490ms, is there a possibility to defend the 490ms defenitively,?

You could check the OSCAT library - see CoDeSys store. Or, this is easy enough to roll your own. Here is one way:

TOD is a nice format for this (TOD#hh:mm:ss.mmm). Basically convert TIME to TOD to STRING and trim it for the answer.

FUNCTION CleanTime : STRING
VAR_INPUT
   TimeValue : TIME;
END_VAR
VAR
   MyTOD : TOD;
   MyStr : STRING[12]; //lose the milliseconds
END_VAR
MyTOD := TIME_TO_TOD(TimeValue);
MyStr := TOD_TO_STRING(MyTOD);
CleanTime := Standard.RIGHT(STR:=MyStr,8);

So now, you can just do:

Pretty := CleanTime(Timer.ET);

Or, you can do:

a:time;

a:=a/1000;

and after

a:=a *1000

as a is an integer kind...
