Voted best answer

1) Call GetDt Block and Enable it. Assign a variable to LOCAL_DT

2) Call DATE_AND_TIMETOCALENDARSTRUCT… Connect “LOCAL_DT” to ‘date and time’

3) Define another variable CAL_ST to ‘CalendarStruct’.

4) With help of this you can make programming as required by calling CAL_ST.Hour / CAL_ST.Minute
