Hi,

I was looking for information on Siemens web-pages, but official response of Siemens is to keep winter time in plc all the time. My process depends on local time, so I must to know when was time change done. Synchronization time is not supporting daylight saving change.

Hi,
For DCF77 You need hardware.
There is some functions in OSCAT library
link: http://www.oscat.de/component/jdownload ... l?Itemid=0

there You can find oscat_basic_332_s7 Step7 library with various functions. In manual oscat_basic333_en there is one function DT2_TO_SDT which are able to check if daylight saving time is active or not.
kind regards
