Use the Configuration tab in RSLogix 5000 software to enable Timestamp
Latching on the 1732E-IB8M8SOER, as shown in the example.

Use Timestamp Capture

Timestamp Capture causes the module to timestamp specific input transitions
(Off to On and On to Off ). However, keep the following in mind when using
this feature:

Typically, Timestamp Latching is enabled. The configuration of this feature
determines whether the module timestamps only the first transition on an input
until the timestamp is acknowledged, or every transition on an input while
overwriting timestamps that have not yet been acknowledged.

If Timestamp Capture is enabled, the module timestamps only the enabled
transitions (OFF to ON and ON to OFF) for each input.

Whenever an input transition is timestamped as a valid transition, the module
sends updated input data for all inputs to the controller at the next RPI and at
every subsequent RPI.

Select this box to enable the
Timestamp Latching feature.
De-select the box to disable
the feature.
