S7 PLC TIME OF DAY/datetime/time tag datatype issue

Greetings!!

ThingWorx Kepware Server v6.16.217.0 when reading Siemens S7‑300 time‑based datatypes such as:

TIME_OF_DAY (TOD)
DATE_AND_TIME (DT)
TIME

The Siemens S7 family uses non-standard binary and BCD‑encoded formats for time values, 
which do not automatically map to Kepware’s OPC UA native Date/Time types.

Workaround Resolution:-
Convert Time Struct to STRING in the PLC
Read the Raw Bytes in Kepware and Decode in ThingWorx
Decode DATE_AND_TIME / TIME_OF_DAY Inside the PLC
Avoid mapping Siemens TIME/TOD/DT directly in Kepware
