Sum of 2 individual time duration in EcoStruxure Machine SCADA Expert

[KamenRider]

Dear all,

Currently I was customizing an expression in EMSE's scheduler to add up 2 time duration. However, I fail to do so. Hence request expert to advise. Below was the scenario:

Time_A = 81 sec

Time_B = 00:00:31 

And I would like to display the total time was 00:01:52. Hence I have been using below statement in the scheduler expression : 

Format("%h", Time_A + Hour2Clock(Time_B))

However, I was not able to get the result as what I targeted. The result shows "8100:00:31". 

Can anyone advise me how should I add up this 2 time duration?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,
the result "8100:00:31" indicates that you are summing two string Tags, if you do for instance "81" + "00:00:31". This would concatenate the 2 string values rather than summ seconds. Do do what you expect, you have to make the Tag "Time_A" a numeric Tag (integer), while "Time_B" Tag is a string. Since the function "Hour2Clock()" returns an integer too, you will end up summing 2 numeric values which represents the time in seconds. 
I hope that helps.
