show PLC clock and date on display

[Tony]

Good afternoon, I have a problem with showing the PLC clock on a scada page. I have been struggling with the points and animation editor. How can I show the PLC date and Clock, in this form? 09-02-18 14:15:46 Especially the : and - is giving me headaches.. Sorry for this probably noob question. BTW, I don't want to use the PC's system clock points. Thanx, Tony

Depends how your data is formatted in the PLC. Easiest would be to have 6 words of 2 digits each. Then just place 6 text objects with each ##, add animation "display analogue value", check leading zeros and place all 6 objects with static text ":" and "-" between them.

Ok thanx, I will do it that way

Hiya, I guess you have you Windows Regional settings set to these settings? Then if you are using CXServer.ClockRead it should format into this string format automatically! Regards Bertie.
