HMI Alarm Timestamp Showing GMT+05:30 Instead of IST in PLCnext Engineer

Hi everyone,

I am facing an issue with the HMI alarm timestamp in PLCnext Engineer.

The system is located in India, and I have configured the PLC and HMI to use Indian Standard Time (IST). However, whenever an alarm is generated, the Date and Time column displays the timestamp in the following format:

Sun Jun 28 2026 14:37:47 GMT+05:30

Instead of displaying the time in a standard IST format (for example, 28-06-2026 20:07:47 or 28-06-2026 08:07:47 PM IST), it shows the timezone as GMT+05:30.

My questions are:

  1. Is it possible to display the alarm timestamp in IST instead of GMT+05:30?

  2. Is there any setting in PLCnext Engineer or the HMI to customize the alarm date and time format?

  3. Has anyone encountered this issue before? If so, how did you resolve it?

I have attached a screenshot for reference.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
