Name	Description
day_time	Format the present date / time to a string.
DTAt	Generate a pulse When the step gets activated, the action is activated for a single execution, and possibly once again when the step is deactivated. at designated time stamp (date and time).
DTCurDate	Get the present date stamp.
DTCurDateTime	Get the present date and time stamp.
DTCurTime	Get the present time stamp.
DTDay	Get the day of the month from the date stamp.
DTEvery	Generate a pulse signal with long period Motor systems having a reciprocating or oscillating motor that operates synchronously with the periodicity of the source which supplies the electrical energy. The period of execution of a pipe is the time spent between two successive computations of set values for the same pipe. The period of execution of a pipe is specified by the PERIOD parameter of the input pipe block..
DTFormat	Format the present date/time to a string with a custom User modified or defined material (e.g., custom units or custom settings). format.
DTGetNTPServer	Read the NTP server address.
DTGetNTPSync	Read the NTP synchronization enable Enable signal for the drive, Hardware-Enable with 24V signal to X8, Software-Enable command by setup Software, fieldbus or permanently set. Both are required for enabling the drive. state.
DTGetTimeZone	Read the Time Zone.
DTHour	Get the hours from the time stamp.
DTListTimeZones	List the time zones available on the controller.
DTMin	Get the minutes from the time stamp.
DTMonth	Get the month from the date stamp.
DTMs	Get the milliseconds from the time stamp.
DTSec	Get the seconds from the time stamp.
DTSetDateTime	Sets the local date and time.
DTSetNTPServer	Set the NTP server address.
DTSetNTPSync	Set the NTP synchronization enable state.
DTSetTimeZone	Set the time zone.
DTYear	Get the year from the date stamp.

- A real-time clock may not be available on all controller hardware models.
  See the controller hardware specifications for real-time clock availability.
- The AKD PDMM and PCMM reset New start of the microprocessor. the date and time when powered-on.
  The reset is to Jan 1, 1970 00:00:00.
  The elapsed time from device power-on can be determined from the Real Time Clock functions.
- PCMM2G does not reset the date and time when powered on.
