My HMI does not support the TIME datatype, how can I write to a located TIME variable in a Control Expert PLC/PAC?

Resolution

A variable of TIME datatype in Control Expert is in actuality using the UDINT format. An HMI Object that is UDINT at the HMI assigned to the same addresses located to a variable of datatype TIME in the PLC/PAC can send the needed value in milliseconds, no conversion needed. If entering in seconds multiply by 1000 or for minutes by 60,000 at the HMI. Normally this math can be done right in the UDINT object before sending to the PLC/PAC.
