Time and date usage in Panel View 6

[HAT1234 0]

I am using Panel View 6 with Micrologix 1400 and would like to capture the time and date after a certain part of my plant process has run.

Is it possible to capture and display the time and date on the HMI when a certain part of the process has run?

You desire an event, after certain part of plant process has run, to trigger sending date and time to the HMI.  Keep in mind that the PLC and the HMI both have internal clocks, so which do you want to use?  One of these clocks should be the master and slaved to the other, otherwise the time or date may be off at some point and create confusion.

Follow this work instruction to create new PLC tags for the master date/time, and to slave the PLC date/time to the HMI date/time registers.
