Time Synchronisation Status in HMI
Server ASCS1 (172.16.4.21) in synchronised with external GPS(120.0.39.39). I need to show sync status of server with gps.
Currently I am checking in CMD (W32tm/status or w32tm/stripchart) or in windows time and date settings.internet time tab (is showing Time of last Synchronisation 15 min update)
Is there any way to show this HMI?

Things would be super easy if the MS Win32Time service had an OPC interface...
If you are up to it you could implement a custom supervision.
1. Develop a Powershell or DOS commandlet that extract necessary info from Win32Time, eg W32TM /STATUS and /STRIPCHART.
2. W32Time leave distinct messages in Windows Event Log. Extract vital events with e.g. Powershell
3. Use ABB Aspect Automation scripting to push (write) data from step 1. and 2. into SoftPoint properties.
4. Schedule the scripts with Microsoft Scheduled Task
5. Build some process graphics to present the data
6. (Optional) Build Alarm Expression to alert if sync deteriorates or fail
7. (Optional) Use Calculation to insert data into Lab Log of Basic History for trending.
An alternative source of Win32Time info might be SNMP or WMI. With 800xA PNSM you can turn any SNMP or WMI counter into OPC DA.
More information on most (all?) steps can be sourced from ABB AKS threads. Search!

Hi ，
Assuming your HMI is 800xA or CHMI800 .
Try to use an aspect view wrapper in the graphic display to display a specific aspect from Time Service group ，which provides time sync info .
There may be other ways to show required info . Hopefully others will have a better solution.

If you are using the AC800M, and if time synced to the controller, you can read the time from there via some code and display in any way. I've done an analog clock for a customer this way, many years ago. For other controller types (Harmony, Advant, Mod etc) this may vary.

... or use the return value of the "w32tm /status" call
if there *is* one.
But MS decides this to hides in MSDN
