Hi All,
New to DeltaV so excuse me for asking this.
Objective is to set an everyday Alert at 10:00 AM to alert the operator to perform his daily data entry task.
I am using the DTE to enable out_d at 10 I am then converting times to epoch values.
Reason is, I have to use the values to determine if any action has to done.
i.e. I need to determine whether it is necessary for an alarm to be generated.
If the difference between current or trigger time and the last time op entered data is greater than six hours (i.e. hours past since start of shift) generate alarm.
Alarm repeats every 30 minutes until data has been updated.
Epoch time is good because it gives a value for time that I can work with but am kind of stuck as the time is in seconds past midnight 1972 i.e 2 years behind.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
