HE: Date, Calendar and Digital

Date elements enable you to:

Display the date, either from the PLC's RTC or values stored in an RTC Time data tag
Enable the date to be edited via the HMI panel

Digital Date

In the following image, the widget below is linked to a user-defined struct. Read-Only is not checked, and the user can edit the value.

Digital Time Attributes
Date Format	Use the drop-downs to configure the date format.
Read-Only	Read-only is checked by default. To enable the end-user to enter data, you must uncheck Read-only.
RTC properties	A Time or Date element is may be linked to one of two, mutually exclusive properties: System RTC Settings, which are the internal settings in the PLC (default). RTC Struct (by User), which is a struct created by the user in the Tag database (enabled only if System RTC Settings is unchecked). Note that in either case, the RTC values can only be edited via the HMI panel if the Read-only Property is unchecked.
Tag: Data Entry Complete	The linked bit turns ON when an element has been touched, the keypad has opened for data entry, and the user presses OK. The bit turns ON whether or not any data has actually been entered. Note that the bit remains ON until it is reset.
Tag: Enable Data Entry	Assign a bit to allow you to enable or disable data entry.

Calendar Date

The Calendar Time Widget is linked to a user-defined struct.

When the user enters a value, it modifies the struct value,leaving the PLC's RTC unchanged.

Calendar Date Attributes
Read-Only	Read-only is checked by default. To enable the end-user to enter data, you must uncheck Read-only.
RTC properties	A Time or Date element is may be linked to one of two, mutually exclusive properties: System RTC Settings, which are the internal settings in the PLC (default). RTC Struct (by User), which is a struct created by the user in the Tag database (enabled only if System RTC Settings is unchecked). Note that in either case, the RTC values can only be edited via the HMI panel if the Read-only Property is unchecked.
Tag: Data Entry Complete	The linked bit turns ON when an element has been touched, the keypad has opened for data entry, and the user presses OK. The bit turns ON whether or not any data has actually been entered. Note that the bit remains ON until it is reset.
Tag: Enable Data Entry	Assign a bit to allow you to enable or disable data entry.
