Time/date functions manipulate time and date variables. Plant SCADA stores time/date-related variables as a single integer. This integer represents the number of seconds since 01/01/1970. It is in GMT, but it has an offset that updates it to local time (determined by the timezone the application is in). The Time/date functions convert this integer into time and date variables.
Note: The Time/date functions can only be used with dates between 1980 and 2035.
