I think the easiest way to display Date and Time is, to read clock with the Read_RTC block. You get back a 8-byte time buffer in serveral bytes.You can use these bytes to create your Date/Time-display. In S7-200 manual you find the structure of the 8-byte time buffer of "Read_RTC" best regards robster

Take a look, hope it helps. (www.s7-200.net also have some interesting libraries, you never know what you would need. They are all free, of course)
