Hi all,

I am looking for some advice on the best way to handle extracting a date from a UINT16. The data is stored according to the format below:

///

///

From my understanding, I will need to do something like:

Bit00 - Bit04 --> Byte1 (Day)

Bit05 - Bit08 --> Byte2 (Month)

Bit09 - Bit15 --> Byte3 (Year)

Does this sound accurate? I am still pretty new to all this, so I'm not sure. How can I accomplish this in PCS 7?

Thank you.

Hi,

Thank you for the response.

I think the issue with the DATE_AND_TIME data type is that the data I am getting from my Modbus device is split into two consecutive UINT16 registers.

Thank you!

I apologize for my poor wording in my original post, but this is essentially what I expected to have to do here... thank you for the confirmation that there's not a magically easier way.

I will probably have to take this line of thinking and translate it to SCL
