How To Get Current System Time From Beckhoff-cx5130

[piash.ali]

Hi
I have tried to get current time from the PLC (Beckhoff-cx5130) by "GETSYSTEMTIME", but I am not getting any output.
I have tried "NT_GetTime" "TIMESTRUCT" and "T_FILETIME" but showing some compiling error.
Any suggestion (Example code) regarding this issue will be highly appreciated.
Thanks!

Try using FB_LocalSystemTime

Hi Archie.
Thanks for the suggestion.
Because of the library, It did not work yesterday. I have added the TcUtilities.Lib, now its working fine.
PROGRAM MAIN
VAR
systime:GETSYSTEMTIME;
fbSystemTime : GETSYSTEMTIME;
timeAsFileTime : T_FILETIME;
timeAsDT : DT;
END_VAR

fbSystemTime( timeLoDW =>timeAsFileTime.dwLowDateTime , timeHiDW =>timeAsFileTime.dwHighDateTime );
timeAsDT := FILETIME_TO_DT( timeAsFileTime );
