Reading and Setting the Clock
Clock information can be viewed and set at the front panel human-machine interface (HMI) and through
the communication ports using ASCII commands or BESTCOMS. Write access to reports is required to
set the clock at the HMI and communication ports. An alarm point is provided in the programmable alarms
to detect when the relay has powered up and the clock has not been set. Time and date information is
read and set at HMI Screen 1.4.6, \STAT\OPER\TIME_DATE, through the communication ports using the
RG-DATE and RG-TIME ASCII commands, and through BESTCOMS by selecting the Communication
pull-down menu and then selecting Set Date and Time.
RG-DATE Command
Purpose:
Report/Set Date
Syntax: RG-DATE[={M/D/Y}] or RG-DATE[={D-M-Y}]
Comments: d and m settings are based on SG-CLK setting.
Example 1. Enter the date for July 1, 2005.
>RG-DATE=07/01/05 or
>RG-DATE=07-01-05
RG-TIME Command
Purpose:
Report/Set Time
Syntax: RG-TIME[=hr:mn:sc] or RG-TIME[=hr:mn{f}sc]
Comments: If P or A is not used, time is in 24-hour format. Password access privilege G or R is
required to change settings. Default time setting on power-up is 00:00:00.
Example 1. Read the clock's current time setting (programmed in 12 hour format).
>RG-TIME
12:24P45
Example 2. Set a new time in 12-hour format.
>RG-TIME=8:23P00
GENERAL STATUS REPORTING
BE1-CDS220 relays have extensive capabilities for reporting relay status. This is important for
determining the health and status of the system for diagnostics and troubleshooting. Throughout this
manual, reference is made to the RG-STAT (report general, status) report and the appropriate HMI
screens for determining the status of various functions.
General Status Report
A General Status report is available through the communication ports using the RG-STAT command. This
report lists all of the information required to determine the status of the relay. An example of a typical
General Status report follows as well as a description of what each line represents. In the explanation of
each line, cross-references are made to the corresponding HMI screens that contain that data.
