(0)  hi all, i am working to change Sinamics drive time to UTC time format. (S120, Model: 6SL-3040-0MA00-0AA1) DB2 is my Job list DB.  DB5 is request DB to write parameter p3101[1]. DB7 is request DB to write parameter p3101[0]. I have written function FC2 to read PLC date n time and convert it to days n milliseconds. These values are written into DB5 and DB7 respectively.                    I cant figure out why, the drive does not recognize parameter change everytime? I first set p3100 to 1, then enable job to write p3101[1] followed by p3101[0], Finally set ping signal. The change occurs but for few trials only!  If i do it for multiple times, the response DB shows error message.   I have tested it for other parameters (p3109, p3110) but they can be written multiple times. Is there any limitation to the number of times the parameters p3101[0..1] can be written? Or is there any specific procedure? any information/suggestion would be appreciated.   Thanks.

(0)  I posted a program to sync time between S7 and S120 in the german forum:  https://www.automation.siemens.com/WW/forum/guests/PostShow.aspx?PageIndex=1&PostID=195007&Language=de&onlyInternet=False#top As I read your post, I quickly translated the "manual" (I hope it has not to much spelling errors) and my last post in the german forum: ------------------------------------------------------ I used STEP 7 and STARTER The S7-project is attached. I skipped the reading of the answer from the S120 (after it worked). So the writing commands are now sended blindly (Without checking the answer). It it worked, you can see in parameter 3102 or in STARTER (in the time stamp after generating a new error) . --------------------------------------------------------- Attachment: timesync.zip  (13 Downloads) === Edited by miami @ 6/11/2012 6:14 PM [GMT ] === === Edited by miami @ 6/11/2012 6:12 PM [GMT ] === mfG / Best Regards Dirk
