Hi Folks.
I have an older application that weighs pallets and prints labels for them. We used to capture the time/date of weighing, but we changed that to capture the time when the pallet was loaded.
I am sending the creation time from one S7-315 to a 2nd S7-315 that weighs and prints the labels. I am using the built in date/time data type.
The labels print fine, the DB's all have the correct data. But the HMI that displays the current weight and the proceeding 9 values, just shows ##### signs. Now, I am using the WinCC date/time viewer, I am still looking at the exact same tag and DB location as before. But now all ##### signs. The source is DB207.DBB 0 length 8.
The date time viewer only shows 6 of the 8 bytes, Yr/Mon/Dy Hr:Min:Sec, it does not show the sub second values, I think this is my issue.
Any thoughts?
