Suffix S5T (Symbolic)

The suffix S5T can be used with the S5Time data type. When used without the suffix S5T, the SIDirect Communication Driver reads the 2-byte time from the S7-1500 PLC. See General data types for additional information about S5Time.

The suffix S5T converts STime into a string.

Usage: S5Time S5T

For example: MyS5Time S5T

• The suffix S5T converts S5Time into string (VT_BSTR) that stores the time as a value in the range of 0ms to 2h46m30s.

• When used without the suffix S5T, the SIDirect Communication Driver reads S5Time from the PLC as an unsigned integer (VT_UI2) with a range of 0 to 65535 (milliseconds).
