Hello,

I need to read the PLC clock and transfer it to WinCC. However, I need to change the date/time format from how it is in the PLC 22-10-24-13:30:02 to a different format 24/10/2022 1:30:02 PM. Now I understand that I need to edit the function in STL and I managed to extract the date, month,..etc. But how in STL could we combine strings and add '/', 'PM' to the final string? Any samples or certain functions I could use in STL that could help? Thanks

Hi Farah_Fuad,

in the attachment you can find an introduction and the source code for transfer from the PLC date and time to WinCC.

Thank you a lot for the code. However, I am wondering how I can create an SCL function block in PCS7, I only have the option to create function in language STL, FB, LAD?

Hi Farah_Fuad,

if you want to create a Block with SCL you can not do it in the folder blocks instead you have to do it in the "Sources"-folder. All other addition information about SCL can be found in the manual S7-SCL V5.3 für S7-300/400.

 Thank you. I tried the function and it works perfectly.

Any idea how I can save the these date and time values in the tag management?
