Hi all
Does anyone know how to read the system time from rasbian to use in CoDeSys?
The Raspberry is set up for ntp, and i would like to use that for a project where i need actual time and date without the need to readjust the clock after a power off.
Probably there is already a function somewhere and i just have not found it
Helpful could also be the possibility to run a pyton/php (or any other language) script on rasbian by codesys code and read in the result...

Thanks for help, i work for years with codesys, but our controllers have RTC and we don't do the integration by our self

Hi,

use attached example,

(* get time in seconds since 1970 *)
udiUtcTime := SysTimeRtcGet(udiResult);
IF udiResult <> 0 THEN
   RETURN;
END_IF
(*converts the utc time (seconds) to a SYSTIMEDATE with year, month , day, and time etc. *)
udiResult := SysTimeRtcConvertUtcToDate(udiUtcTime, strTimeDate);
IF udiResult <> 0 THEN
   RETURN;
END_IF
(*converts the utc time to the local time, regarding timezone and summer time in seconds *)
udiResult := SysTimeRtcConvertUtcToLocal(udiUtcTime, udiUtcTimeLocal);
IF udiResult <> 0 THEN
   RETURN;
END_IF

The projectarchive is using the calendar from the oscat libraries too!
