Bolt (Customer) asked a question.
C-more Force Clock Update
Is there a way to force the C-more's clock to update from the PLC (BRX)? I see there's a place where you can assign $Now.Year, .Month, .Day, etc as the External Clock Source, and the frequency of such update (Max Daily at 01:00). However, I would like the option to force it over, such as when DST becomes active/inactive, and if the user is setting up the (PLC) clock from the HMI, it would be nice if the correct time could be immediately displayed.
Hi Bolt,
If Synchronize Schedule is NOT checked, each tag will be written to the PLC whenever it changes (the second tag written each second, the minute tag written once per minute, etc).
This would automatically pick up the DST change.
Regards,
Garry

I do not use the CMore clock, I just show the PLC time on the screen.
This is good for CMore projects that have a CPU with a clock, but may not be good for CMores that talk exclusively with NON-PLC devices -- think SOLO or Watlow temperature controllers.
