I have a pin stamper to stamp a serial number & barcode onto parts.
The serial number contains date and time among other things. Is the compactlogix clock reliable enough? Things that come to mind are if the power goes out and it loses the time setting. Also, I want to eliminate a step when replacing the PLC if it craps out. I don't trust the technicians to properly set the time. This is crucial to have proper date & time to track parts for recall/waranty purposes.
Are my concerns valid? Are there any ways to use an external clock?
