Hello there,

I am using Vision version 8.17 and I need to send a date and time to an OPC UA tag.  
I am using the calender so the operator can choose an exact date and time, and then bind this to a OPC UA tag.

It all works very well, besides that when I receive the value on my OPC tag, the time is reduced by 2 hours. This happens no matter what hour I specify. However, the year, month, day, minute and second are correct. Only the hours have a negative offset by 2 hours…

I am using the 24 hour display

Hope you can help.
