How to Change Date and Time without using CLICK Programming Software

Topic: CL194

Description

This help topic explains how to change the Date and Time in the CLICK CPU module without using CLICK Programming Software. The Date and Time can be changed when the CLICK PLC is in either RUN and STOP modes.

 

 

 

 

Note: This feature is supported from CLICK CPU firmware V2.00.

 

Note: The most CLICK CPU modules support the real time clock feature. However, the following four CLICK CPU modules don’t support it.

Specification

Basic CPU

C0-00DD1-D

Don't support Real Time Clock

C0-00DD2-D

C0-00DR-D

C0-00AR-D

 

Note: If the CLICK PLC is protected by a password, the ‘Change Date and Time in PLC’ option must be unchecked in the Password Setup (Pull down menu: Setup > Password Setup…) as shown below in advance to change the Date and Time via a com port.

How to Change Date

The CLICK CPU module stores the Date information in the following system Data Registers:

Note: These system Data Registers are Read Only.

Step 1:

To change the Date in the CLICK CPU module, use the following system Data Registers to set new Date.

Note: You must set all the valid Year, Month and Day to change the Date in the CLICK CPU module. You can’t change only one or two of them.

Step 2:

After setting the new Year, Month and Day in the above system data registers, turn the system control bit SC53ON to update the Date in the CLICK CPU module. If the CLICK CPU module updates the Date successfully, the system control bit SC54 turns OFF. However, if the new Year, Month and Day are not valid, SC54 turns ON.

Step 2:

After setting the new Hour, Minute and Second in the above system data registers, turn the system control bit SC55 ON to update the Time in the CLICK CPU module. If the CLICK CPU module updates the Time successfully, the system control bit SC56 turns OFF. However, the new Hour, Minute and Second are not valid, SC56 turns ON.
