Hello everybody
How can I read out the current time e.g. with "FN 18 SYSREAD Q1600" on an EVO with ITNC530 controller?

Preferably in a format that I can continue working with...

E.g. desired time- current time= processing time


Kind regards

You can read out the system time with SYSREAD 320 (so the time in seconds from 1970). If you need to convert it into a date let me know
A time inquiry looks like this:


0 BEGIN PGM 8050_en MM
1;log the beginning time of cycle
2 FN 20: WAIT FOR SYNC
3 FN 18: SYSREAD Q77 = ID320
4;============================
5;example for the programm
6;===========================
7;log the end time of cycle
8 FN 20: WAIT FOR SYNC
9 FN 18: SYSREAD Q88 = ID320
10;calculate the difference in seconds
Q99 = Q88 - Q77
11;calculate the difference in minutes
Q98 = Q99 / 60
12;calculate the difference in hours
Q97 = Q99 / 3600
13 END PGM 8050_en MM

If you only want to enter the date into a output text, then that’s really easy
"Date: %2d-%2d-%2d time: %2d:%2d:%2d PGM: %S"
,DAY,MONTH,YEAR4,HOUR,MIN,SEC,CALL_PATH;

Hello everybody,

I've read this post and I've noticed that I'm trying to do something similar.
I'd like to write the date and the time when the program is run is a table. Is it possible to save YYYY MM DD (year, month and day) and HH MM SS (hour, minutes, seconds) in a table created beforehand? Actually, I don't mind the format of the date and time (I mean in 3 columns each, y a single column each, ...)

I guess that it should be possible with FN 18: SYSREAD ID320 and FN 27: TABWRITE, but I cannot guess how.

Kind regards,
