Parameter assignment

9.3General settings on the device

The important general settings are described in the following, e.g. the time adjust- ment, the synchronization response etc.

You will find a list of all the setting options in Parameter table (Chapter 10).

9.3.1Time management

Note

Change the plant time at one single, central point, ideally on the central plant clock.

Setting the time manually

You can set the time in the device optionally with one of the following parameters:

Parameter /Time/Local Time (0.09.04)

Parameter /Time/UTC Time (0.09.02) (uniform universal time)

Parameter /Time/TAI Time (0.09.03) (atomic time)

Time zone

You define the offset from UTC to the zone time, without any daylight saving, with the parameter /Time/Time Zone (0.09.06).

Note

If the external synchronization already contains a time zone (e.g. DCF77 contains CET/CEST), this is taken into account on reception.

If the time zone is not defined by the external synchronization (e.g. serial tele- grams), then no further time zone correction is made.

Difference between TAI and UTC

You can readout the difference between atomic time TAI and universal time UTC in seconds with the parameter /Time/Extended/Atomic Time TAI/Offset from UTC to TAI (0.09.01).
