FC in S7-300 capture the cpu's date_time when a memory bit is set and save it a data block. I use SFC1 to read cpu date_time. I checked the captured date and time via extract date and time by using SFC6 and SFC8. The FC is working properly. After that I define a structure tag in wincc. In the structure tag I add new element related to DATE_AND TIME data in the S7. The structure tag involved BYTE0=YEAR, BYTE1=MONTH, BYTE2=DAY, BYTE3=HOUR, BYTE4=MINUTE. When I configure a I/O field related to year, month, day etc. tag structures, the value in the I/O field is not same previously captured and saved DATE_AND_TIME in S7 controller. How can I display DATE_AND_TIME data format in wincc. ( The date and time previously captured and saved in S7 controller) . Thanks for your suggestion.

Some form of conversion must be applied, preferably in the PLC program. Here is a link to one such threads, with a few solutions: /tf/WW/en/Posts/31195 Hope this helps, Daniel Chartier
