Time Zone Information ¶ The World is divided in time zones which are based on the degrees of longitude. The English town Greenwich is situated in their centre on the so-called prime meridian that defines the starting point for the count of the world’s degrees of longitude. By taking a closer look at a globe, one can distinguish the degrees of longitude and latitude which clasp the world like a grid. The degrees of longitude go from north to south and connect the two poles. The time being measured in the observatory in Greenwich is called GMT which is the abbreviation for Greenwich Mean Time . The GMT serves as a basis for calculating the respecting times in all countries of the world. However nowadays the term GMT is not used any more as it has been replaced by the expression Universal Time Coordinated (UTC).

GetTimeZoneInformation (FB) ¶ FUNCTION_BLOCK GetTimeZoneInformation This function block reads the specific information on the time zone. InOut: Scope Name Type Comment Input xExecute BOOL Rising edge: Action start Falling edge: Resets outputs. If a falling edge occurs before the function block has completed its action, the outputs operate in the usual manner and are only reset if either the action is completed or in the event of an error. In this case, the corresponding output values (xDone, xError, iError) are present at the outputs for exactly one cycle. Output xDone BOOL Action successfully completed xBusy BOOL Function block active xError BOOL TRUE : error occurred, function block aborts action FALSE : no error eError ERROR Error description for diagnosis tziInfo RTCLK_TIME_ZONE_INFO Information on the time zone

SetTimeZoneInformation (FB) ¶ FUNCTION_BLOCK SetTimeZoneInformation With this function block the specific information of the time zone can be modified. The time zone setting will be kept even after a Reset-Origin of the controller and can only be modified by being overwritten again. If no automatic switch is desired, all elements of tziInfo.stStandardDate and tziInfo.stDaylightDate must be set to 0. InOut: Scope Name Type Comment Input xExecute BOOL Rising edge: Action start Falling edge: Resets outputs. If a falling edge occurs before the function block has completed its action, the outputs operate in the usual manner and are only reset if either the action is completed or in the event of an error. In this case, the corresponding output values (xDone, xError, iError) are present at the outputs for exactly one cycle. tziInfo RTCLK_TIME_ZONE_INFO Information on the time zone Output xDone BOOL Action successfully completed xBusy BOOL Function block active xError BOOL TRUE : error occurred, function block aborts action FALSE : no error eError ERROR Error description for diagnosis

Time and Date ¶ Modules of this library support reading and setting of the realtime clock. These modules, however, might not take into account the time zone and a possible switch between summer and standard time. If an automatic switch is desired all the same, the function blocks of the CAA_DTUtility library can be used for reading and setting the realtime clock. In this case the time switch is done via the CAA_DTUtility library . If the runtime system supports the automatic switch between summer and standard time, the calls of the library will be forwarded directly to the corresponding functions of library CAA_RealTimeClock and the clock switch will be done by the runtime system.
