Hello, does B&R supports DATE\_AND\_TIME 64 bits format? Is there any function to convert from 32bits to 64bits format? I value shoud be send through OPCUA and it needs to be linked to an external information model object. The object supprts only the 64bits format. Thank you! ---

Not directly, but you can get the DateTime information into a variable of structure type, which contains 2 DINT variables. [UA Part 6: Mappings - 5.1.2 Built-in Types](https://reference.opcfoundation.org/Core/Part6/v104/docs/5.1.2) ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/brcommunity/original/2X/8/8290516891018c593e2f0d98f00e6c1df2308d0a.png) In the OPC UA Default view in the UA Data Type column the i=13 DateTime can be used to get the INT64 into 2 DINT values. ---
