Time and Date

You can use Time & Date widgets to enable you to both display time and date, and to enable these values to be entered from the HMI Panel.

Time and Date values: System RTC Settings vs RTC Struct (by User)

By default, Time and Date widgets are linked to the system Real Time Clock (RTC).

The RTC values in a UniStream controller are serviced by two system structs, RTC Time and RTC Date. The struct values are read from or written to and displayed by the Time and Date Widgets.

 

You can also create an RTC Time or RTC Date struct, and link it to your Widget.

Note that the property Tag: RTC Struct (by User) is only enabled if, in the Widget Properties, the property System RTC Settings is unchecked.

Time and Date Widgets include:

HE: Time, Analog & Digital

HE: Date, Calendar and Digital

General Properties

HMI Elements: Properties of Appearance

HMI Elements: Size and Position

 

Additional methods for setting the RTC are listed in the topic Setting the RTC
