Feature Description ● This function enable you to control time based applications such as lighting or air conditioning equipment using the current time data stored in special data registers. The internal clock data is backed up by a secondary lithium battery. The current time is reset when the backup data is lost, so the current time will need to be set again.
Page 198 4 Special Functions Adjusting the Date and Time with Ladder Program or FBD Program ● The current time can be set on the Touch by using special data registers D8015 to D8021. Undefined values are stored in special data registers D8015 to D8021. Always store an appropriate value before turning on M8016, M8017, or M8020.
Page 199 4 Special Functions Example ladder program 1 ● This example sets the calendar and clock in a ladder program. If you turn on M8020 with the new calendar/clock data set in the write-only data registers D8015 to D8021, the internal clock on the Touch is updated with the current time (calendar, clock). In this example, the Touch internal clock is set to 9:35:00 on Tuesday February 21, 2012.
