Simatic OP 73, handling date & time

[juzeko]

Hello.I'm using Simatic S7-300 PLC , Simatic operator panel OP 73 and wincc flexible. I have a problem regarding date & time on Simatic operator panel OP 73, it shows wrong date & time on alarms, on the otherside i have set the time & date on PLC. Is it possible to synchronize date&time on OP 73 and PLC?Any hint?

Thx

Yes, you can get the date and time from the PLC. Under "Communication" in Flexible you can define "Area Pointers" (usually in a DB) where you place the data you want to transfer to the panel.
