| MIN | SINT | Minuted |
| HOUR | SINT | Hours |
| DAY | SINT | Days |
| MON | SINT | Months |
| YEAR | INT | Years |
| WDAY | SINT | Day of week (0 = Sunday, 1 = Monday, …, 6 = Saturday) |

Function
The block converts the total time in (starting at 1.1.1970, 00:00), into other units The resulting outputs are sec, min, hour, day, mon, and year. For example, for in=3600 the outputs are sec=0, min=0, hour=1, day=1, mon=1, year=1970. Apart from this, the wday output shows the day of week (0 = Sunday, 1 = Monday, …, 6 = Saturday).
Note that the input values are in UTC format. If in < 0 then it is supposed that in = 0.
Application example
The block, together with B97, is used as an auxiliary block for various time/date conversions, calculating of time spans etc.
