Date and Time
The Station Manager provides commands to examine the date and time. Any time the
TCP/IP Ethernet Interface is restarted or power to it is cycled, it will attempt to read the
date and time from the PLC CPU. If this fails, the time reverts to midnight and the date
to January 1, 1989; it is only in the case of failure to read date/time from the CPU that
you must set it using the Station Manager. If accurate time stamp information is to be
generated in the Exception Log, the system date and time must be set using the Station
Manager.
