Timestamps
Some outputs that are part of a function block—including registers, timestamps, start dates, and stop dates—provide timestamp information such as the date and time when the value was recorded. The function block includes a unique output for each criteria to present the date and timestamp data as shown below:
-
cs: centisecond
-
D: day
-
h: hour
-
M: month
-
min: minute
-
sec: second
-
Y: year
Example: The following outputs are available for the Voltage DipStartDate1 timestamp:
-
VoltageDipStartDate1_cs
-
VoltageDipStartDate1_D
-
VoltageDipStartDate1_h
-
VoltageDipStartDate1_M
-
VoltageDipStartDate1_min
-
VoltageDipStartDate1_sec
-
VoltageDipStartDate1_Y
Registers, timestamps, start dates, and stop dates that provide timestamp information that end in 1 indicate the most recent output and, depending on the number of available outputs, the output with the higher number indicates the least recent entry. So, in the case of the outputs shown as VoltageDipStartDate1 and VoltageDipStartDate5, 1 indicates the most recent entry and 5 indicates the least recent entry.
