Expression tag to convert minutes to hh:mm:ss

Ignition
10

IMO, it can just as easily be done without script.

  • start from a date (midnight)
  • add minutes or seconds like you want (needs to be integers, if you want high precision, you can add milliseconds as integers)
  • format as “HH:mm:ss”

This doesn’t work if the hours value can reach more than 24 hours, but apart from that, it’s quite concise and easy to understand IMO.

dateFormat(
	addSeconds(
		getDate(1970,1,1),
		toInt({Root Container.value} * 60)
	),
	"HH:mm:ss"
)
