Short summary

Name	`SPLIT_DT`
→POU type	→function
Category	IEC-block, Time, block with internal error diagnostic
Conform to →IEC-standard	no restrictions., but: implementer-specific realization ; see "Functionality"
Graphical interface
Available since	version 1.27.0 (for logi.CAD 3)

Functionality

The block splits a date and time of day (DATE_AND_TIME) entered at input IN. The outputs return the split values.

Implementer-specific realization

The IEC-standard defines that the i mplementer specifies the provided data types for the ANY_INT outputs. See the following table for the data type that is valid for the specific output in logi.CAD 3.

Inputs, outputs

	Identifier	→Data type	Description
Inputs:	`IN`	`DATE_AND_TIME`	date and time of day
Outputs:	`YEAR`	`UINT`	year
	`MONTH`	`USINT`	month (1-12)
	`DAY`	`USINT`	day (1-31)
	`HOUR`	`USINT`	hours (0-23)
	`MINUTE`	`USINT`	minutes (0-59)
	`SECOND`	`USINT`	seconds (0-59)
	`MILLISECOND`	`UINT`	milliseconds (0-999)

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 .

Internal error diagnostic for block

The block checks the value connected to the inpu t before it is executed.
If the value is > DT#2106-02-07-06:28:14.999 , the output ENO of the block is set to value FALSE (or an equivalent).

Example for usage within ST-editor

PROGRAM Test
	VAR
		resA1, resA7, resB1, resB7 : UINT;
		resA2, resA3, resA4, resA5, resA6, resB2, resB3, resB4, resB5, resB6  : USINT;
		CheckENOA, CheckENOB : BOOL;
	END_VAR
    SPLIT_DT(IN := DT#2015-01-06-23:59:59.995, YEAR => resA1, MONTH => resA2, DAY => resA3, HOUR => resA4, MINUTE => resA5, SECOND => resA6, MILLISECOND => resA7, ENO => CheckENOA);
	(* The variable 'resA1' evaluates to '2015' (the year), 'resA2' to '1' (the month), 'resA3' to '6' (the day). *)
	(* The variable 'resA4' evaluates to '23' (the hour), 'resA5' and 'resA6' to '59' (the minutes and seconds), 'resA7' to '995' (the milliseconds). *)
	(* The variable 'CheckENOA' evaluates to 'TRUE'. *)
 
    SPLIT_DT(IN := DT#2120-12-10-15:32:01.100, YEAR => resB1, MONTH => resB2, DAY => resB3, HOUR => resB4, MINUTE => resB5, SECOND => resB6, MILLISECOND => resB7, ENO => CheckENOB);
	(* The variable 'CheckENOB' evaluates to 'FALSE'. Reason: 'DT#2120-12-10-15:32:01.100' is not within the valid range. *)
