====== MKWare_ProcesstimeByMKWare_State ======

This function block sends start and stop signals of a process to //MK|Ware//. The time difference between the signals is measured there to generate the process time.
It also sends the status of the process (OK / NOK), because NOK processes in //MK|Ware// are not included in the evaluation.
If the PLC does not provide the two start and stop signals, only the duration of the active start signal can be used. The [[en:software:mksupervisor:strukturbaum:funktion:start|configuration in the MKSupervisor]] determines how the process time is generated.
