I am very new to PLC programming (AB CompactLogix L2 Controller) and I am looking for a way to get the Day part of the current Date from an Ethernet connected PanelView Plus 700 inside RSLogix 5000.
I am currently using the PLC WallClock values for the Day but the end user is more likely to be able to update and manage the Clock time on the PanelView terminal rather than allowing them to tinker with the PLC clock. If I can do this then the Clock Time in the PLC becomes irrelevant and I won't have to worry about that.
Is there a way to grab the Date from the attached PanelView?
