ControlLogix displays day first

I've never paid attention to this, is this normal?

Thats gonna be a regional settings option from windows isn't it?

I press take date from workstation, and my workstation shows month first

 

[TheWaterboy]

OK then, I've not seen that myself.

Yes, that is exactly how it displays - and no, there's not a way to change it. Somehow took me 29 years to realize that, but after wasting several hours going down a rabbit hole one day, I now know.

Amazed that someone developed it that way. Amazed that I never realized it until lately.

 

[TheWaterboy]

Doesn't look that way on mine

Ok, now you're gunna send me down the rabbit hole again.....thanks

 

[TheWaterboy]

LOL. I get it. It might be processor specific, this was an L71

 

[kekrahulik]

...and now I can't find an example of that...looked at PLC5, L61, L72S -everything looks normal. Maybe it is workstation related?

I remember experiencing some great confusion over PLC dates. I keep wondering if life might be easier when I lose the rest of my memory...

 

[TheWaterboy]

That's what I thought too. Windows Regional settings, but the OP said they are as expected.

Years ago the PLC 5 swapped the the S registers in one FW version or model essentially doing the same thing.

I've sprained my ankle in that hole before...

I am SO Sorry, false alarm.

I RDP into the workstation that had the days listed first.

I keep looking at my own local workstation.

All is normal......

Thanks for the update. We were all curious.
