Command 6 - SET TOD (Time of Day)
Original instructions
Overview
The SET TOD command loads the modules TOD clock with the time of day and the date as provided in the Command Words 1 to 7. The format for the time of day and date is identical to that used by the PLC time/date registers.
NOTE: To synchronize the module's and PLC's TOD clocks, do a block move of the PLC's seven time/date registers to Command Words 1 to 7 and set Command Word 0 to 0600 hex.
This command is executed only the first time it is received. To execute the command again, one of the Command Words, 0 to 7, needs to be changed. This is done so that the same time does not get continuously loaded until Command Word 0 changes to a command other than SET TOD.
