# `Fun_GetMachineWorkStartDate` (function) > 获取当前机台时间(包含上一班) - **Type:** FUNCTION - **Returns:** `datetime` - **Deterministic:** NO - **SQL data access:** CONTAINS SQL ## Parameters | # | Mode | Name | Type | |---|---|---|---| | 1 | IN | `sPlcNo` | `int` | | 2 | IN | `sBrId` | `varchar(255)` | | 3 | IN | `sSuId` | `varchar(255)` | ## Body _Body is not pre-cached. To inspect: `mysql --defaults-file=~/.my.cnf -e 'SHOW CREATE FUNCTION `Fun_GetMachineWorkStartDate`'`._ ## Narrative **Business context:** Machine shift-window helper — given a press (`iPlcNo`), returns the **start** of the current shift, including the previous shift when `NOW()` falls in the night window (i.e. before `sOffWork`). Used to define "current shift" for machine OEE / 排产 dashboards. **What it does:** Reads `elemachine.sOffWork` / `sShiftsWork` (default `8:00` / `17:30`), classifies `NOW()` as day-side or night-side, then returns either today's `sOffWork` or yesterday's `sShiftsWork`/`sOffWork` accordingly. **Invocation:** Called by `Sp_bd_MachinePlanStatus`, `Sp_bd_McPlanConter`, `Sp_bd_McPlanRate` — the machine-board (机台看板) status / completion / rate procedures that surface real-time shift progress on the production-floor displays.
