Formatting/Converting Siemens TIME type to display a timer

[Reksio]

Hi,
I know this subject came up in the past, but I cant open the attachments that would otherwise display a solution to my question. Im trying to properly display a Siemens Time format as Hours,Minutes, Seconds. Can someone point me to the right place?
Thanks in advance,

Here you are, for 7.9 and 8 ( information is theirs in the below URL )

SIEMENS Driver DATE_AND_TIME values

If you have access to the plc programm there is a workaround. You can use the system functions DT_TOD and DT_DATE to convert a date into days and time of day. The DATE is an 16-bit value with the days since 1990-01-01 and TOD is a 32-bit value with the count of milliseconds since midnight. These value can easily be converted to a java date in Ignition. I added a function to our plc programs that converts all DT values and stores them in a seperate datablock which is then read by Ignition.

(See the message below instead- there are better ways)

The Siemens TIME is a simple unsigned DINT with a milliseconds value.
There are some solutions at the end of this topic to display milliseconds as hh:mm:ss
