MikahB Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 Just got a call from my customer, seems the date/time on the V1210 has reset itself. Program is all intact, but the date is now wrong. I am positive it was correct when I left last week. What keeps the date/time accurate in the machine? I'm going to send him a program revision to let him edit date/time, but seems like something we should only need to set once. This machine is used intermittently and when they leave it, they just turn the power off - is there something I need to have them do first?

EduMarg Posted April 16, 2015 Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 Hello Mikah, If the date and time where reset after power off then this could mean that the battery is runing low. please tel him to check the status of SB8. if it is 1 this means the batter is low and it will be good idea to change it. The application may remain intact becouse you or your client have dowload and burn the application to the PLC. To change the battery, so he does not loose any data from the operands, he can doit will the V1210 is power on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds like the right type of issue, will post back with an update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikahB Posted April 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 Confirmed, battery is dead. Since I am offsite and there is no remote access (other than me emailing new versions of the program for them to install), can I directly manipulate SI 33-38 to allow the user to reset the time? Probably going to try it before this even gets approved, but at least I tried to ask permission first! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MVP 2021 Joe Tauser Posted April 16, 2015 MVP 2021 Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 Yes, you can drive SI 33 - 38. You can also be really brave and tell him how to set the time via Info mode. Joe T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a bold move, Joe - I think that's out of my comfort zone. Thanks for the response, though - new battery + time set should have us all squared away!!
