Hello suren; I generally prefer to synchronize the time in the operator panel based on the PLC clock, using PLC Jobs. From a manual that covers the OP270: http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/10420917 Synchronizing date/time with the PLCThe date and time in the operating unit and PLC can be synchronized if this featureis defined in the configuration and PLC program. To do this, the PLC jobs 14 (SetTime) and 15 (Set Date) are provided. Use PLC jobs 40 and 41 to transfer the dateand time from the operating unit to the PLC.Further information on this is available in the Communication for Windows-basedSystems user’s guide.This will involve using Area Pointers defined in the HMI configuration, and read/writing to those areas on the PLC so the data is transfered automatically to the HMI panel. Once you understand the technique, it is quite straightforward. Hope this helps, Daniel Chartier |

Hi, you can use the Date-Time Field in WinCC flexible. I don't know which plc do you use. Here is a link for date and time synchronization between S7 plc and SIMATIC panel: http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/24104104 Bye |
