Been working on an infrastructure that handles with batch production, and it also needs to deal with batch procedure report data, in which there are timestamps, and runs on AB CLX platform. Since timestamps obviously come from plc local time, there's a risk that when plc should lose its time and then time reverts back to something like year 1998, the situation will corrupt report data integrity.
Since I don't want to complicate the system design, nor to burden project programmers and on-site engineers with additional mechanism or 3rd party applications, like CIP time sync or controller clock update tool, it leaves me without options, especially I want it to be elegantly working.
So does anyone ever find a way to implement design, on FTView SE or a C# application, to read and if necessary, write plc time of an AB CLX, directly on THIS time?
