Rogier Posts: 26 Rating: (1)	I have problems keeping a correct time in the PLC. SoI wanted to follow the instructions of the FAQ: How can you set the time of an S7 controller from WinCC? I have tried to follow the instruction but i am already stuck at the 3th step. When i create the FB and copy the AWL text code from the FAQ, there is a syntax error in the first two lines (Bold underlined lines)? U DB1.DBX 8.0 SPBN end L DB1.DBB 0 // Year T LB 0 L DB1.DBB 1 // Month T LB 1 L DB1.DBB 2 // Day T LB 2 L DB1.DBB 3 // Hour T LB 3 L DB1.DBB 4 // Minutes T LB 4 L DB1.DBB 5 // Secounds T LB 5 L DB1.DBB 6 // 1/1000 Sec T LB 6 L DB1.DBB 7 // 1/1000 Sec T LB 7 CALL "SET_CLK" PDT :=#TimeStamp RET_VAL:=#ret_value R DB1.DBX 8.0 //reset Flag end: NOP 0 Due to PLC/scada program i am not able to sync the PLC in a normal way, so i have to force it with this method. Could somebody please help me i am a beginner i STL code so bare with me.
