Time of System to BIOS Time

Comments

This function block is useful in combination with the real time clock (RTC) function block.

Attention: Be aware that changing the BIOS time to an earlier date is not recommended. It can lead to conflicts with existing files and their time stamps in the file system, because it is now a point of time in the future.
