CHAPTER 9
PLC Clock Tool
The PLC Clock tool provides a facility to monitor and set the PLC Clock and synchronise the PLC clock to the PC
clock.
The PLC Clock tool dialog can be set so that it remains ‘on top’ and is not obscured by other windows by clicking
the right mouse button in the task bar and selecting the
Always on Top option.
To close the PLC Clock dialog, select the
Close button in the title bar.
The PLC Clock tool displays two clock images that represent the time for the computer (PC) on the left and the
PLC on the right. The time and date are also represented in a digital format for both the computer and the PLC.
The times for both the Computer and the PLC are updated once a second.
A synchronise button is located centrally between the two clock images. This button once pressed, will
synchronise the PLC clock to the computer clock. The same effect can also be evoked from the Options –
Synchronise Clocks menu.
The File menu allows the PLC Clock tool to be closed by use of the Exit menu item.
The Options – Set PLC Clock allows the time and date within the PLC to be set.
If the PLC Clock window is minimised the PLC clock time will be displayed in digital format in the task bar.
