Greetings
In our plant we use a ControlLogix5563 as our main data handling PLC. Recently I noticed that the controller date/time setting differs from the Date_Time tag which we update by GSV instruction.
The controller time and DateTime tag differs by 2 hours.
The rest of the tag datatype fields are correct. Just the hours differ.
The Date_Time Tag is structured as follows:
Date_Time
I am not sure what caused the issue.
For a temp fix I simply adjusted the controller time by 2 hours and the Date_Time tag updated to the correct actual time.
How can I fix this nuisance? What caused this?
Your help is appreciated.

The Date_Time Tag is structured as follows:
Date_Time
- Date_Time.Year
- Date_Time.Month
- Date_Time.Day
- Date_Time.Hour
- Date_Time.Minute
- Date_Time.Second
- Date_Time.Microseconds
