Setting Time and Date in the CPU

The Set Time and Date option is only available if you set the time-of-day (TOD) menu enable
in the TD 200 configuration and if you are using a CPU that supports the TOD clock. If the
configuration is not set to allow changes to the time, or if your CPU does not support the
TOD clock, you cannot modify the date or time of the CPU.
Figure 3-6 shows you what the TD 200 displays if you try to set the time on an S7-200 CPU
that does not contain a clock.

week.

Display Message mode. The TD 200 automatically returns to the Display Message mode
after one minute if no keys are pressed.
