Clock Function
This function reads the internal clock data of the CPU module by a sequence program and uses it for time
management. The clock data is used for time management required for some functions in the system, such as storing
date into the error history.
Remark
The Built-in Ethernet port QCPU can set the time in the CPU module automatically by using the time setting function (SNTP
client).
