Reading the current month in Step 7

[NoName]

Hello.

I'm trying to sort some data in my step 7 project. I have 12 data blocks. 1 for each month wich will store some operational data of the plant.

I've tryed to write a script in WinCC flex, so that it would read the curent month ( numerical value from 1 to 12 ) and would move it to the PLC in a integer word.

I defined the script(name of the script is DisplayMonth) as a function. The paramter is set to Month(Tag for the month is a word in one of the data block on the PLC)

I've writen this code:
---------
DisplayMonth = month(now)
---------

Thers a similar script in the help file of Wincc, for converting farenheit to celsius. This that I have writen doesn't work unfortunatley.

Is there any other way to write this script, or is there a possibility to read the actual month from the PLC directly?

Regards
Ales

You can either use this block as it is or modify it so that it only returns the month:
