Output BCD_V of the Timer

At this output the current count is written BCD-coded into any word-variable. If you do not need this value you can also leave the output unconnected. The range of values of the here displayed number goes from 0 up to 999. You can use this value as PV value of another counter.

But you cannot process this value with the +I, -I, *I and /I operations. If you want to calculate with the count you shall use the binary coded value specified at the DU-output. If you want to compare the value that is displayed at the DE-output with other numbers you will have to note that these are BCD-coded as well.
