To get this information printed to the .edr file, you need to do your run with 
correct energygrps defined.  If you didn't do that, create a .tpr file that 
specifies these groups and re-calculate energies with mdrun -rerun.

Just convert after the fact in the text file or plotting software.  The time 
unit is always ps in .edr files.
