Issue with Timezone Configuration in PLCnext Project

PLCnext Technology & PLCnext Controls
1

Hi everyone,
I’m currently working on a project using PLCnext Engineering, and I’ve encountered an issue with timezone configuration. According to the guidelines provided on the website, I followed the steps to change the timezone on the Linux part of the system, and it seems to work fine there when I type the date command. However, in my project, when I use PBCL_DateTimeGet_1, it returns the UTC time, and RTC_S also gives me the UTC time.
Interestingly, the only timezone that I’ve been able to get working correctly is America/New_York. None of the GMT timezones seem to work. Has anyone else experienced this issue or have any suggestions on how to resolve it?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Mathieu

Hello, yes, something like this has been reported in the past, and it is recorded in the current list of Known Issues in the Info Center:

This is an unusual error because, as you have observed, the behaviour seems fine for some time zones, but not for others.
The issue is expected to be fixed in firmware version 2024.6.
