Is there a functionblock for "Astro timer"?

I need a FB thats works like an "Astro Timer" who switch off when the sun rise and switch off when the sun sets.

    Hi pudderjagar,

    There is nothing like that included with PLCnext Engineer out of the box, but a community member has written a Solar Tracker library, which gives the sunrise and sunset times for any point on earth:

    If this is of interest I can ask the developer to get in touch with you.

     Can you ask the developer to get in touch with me?

     

    This is very interesting. I have looked at the example that was attached and wonder how I can implement this into my project. I'm programing in NOLD and this is in ST. I also wonder where I enter data and get status on.

    And the biggest problem. This example is made for AXC F 2152 but I'm useing  AXC 1152. Can this been changes easely?
