Short summary

Name	`CONCAT_DATE_TOD`
→POU type	→function
Category	IEC-block, Time
Conform to →IEC-standard	currently restricted (IEC demands error handling, if the result of the block exceeds the range of values for the output data type. See " No check of invalid connections " for the behavior in logi.CAD 3. )
Graphical interface
Available since	version 1.19.0 (for logi.CAD 3)

Functionality

The block concatenates (combines) a date and a time of day to a date with time of day (DATE_AND_TIME). Enter date and time at the corresponding inputs.

No check of invalid connections

For some blocks, invalid connections are not checked by logi.CAD 3. Therefore, enter code in your application to detect invalid connections (e.g. IF-statements in the ST-code).

See "IEC-blocks for the application" for information what the consequences of an invalid connection might be.

Inputs, return value

	Identifier	→Data type	Description
Inputs:	`IN1`	`DATE`	date
Inputs:	`IN2`	`TIME_OF_DAY`	time
Return value:	–	`DATE_AND_TIME`

Input EN and output ENO are available when →calling the block. See "Execution control: EN, ENO" for information on input EN and output ENO.

See:

"Blocks for safe logic" whether this block is supported for developing safety-relevant applications.
"Highlighting safe logic in the FBD-editor" for the effects when using the block as a block for safe logic .

Example for usage within ST-editor

PROGRAM Test
    VAR
        result : DATE_AND_TIME;
    END_VAR
    result := CONCAT_DATE_TOD(D#2014-03-12, TOD#12:30:00);       (* The variable 'result' evaluates to 'DT#2014-03-12-12:30:00'. *)
END_PROGRAM

When creating your application within the ST-editor, enter a call of a block by typing the text as requested by the syntax or use Content Assist.
