Output DU of a Timer

You can connect any word variable to this output of the timer. Into this variable the current value of the timer is transfered continuously. This is not needed for simple PLC programs. At this output the current value of the timer is displayed binary coded in the time base with which the timer was started. But the time base is not existing anymore in the displayed value, that is why you have to know with which time base the timer was started. In case of doubt it is better to use the value that is displayed at the DEZ-output to convert this one into milli seconds then.
