CLOCK AND LOGGER
pCOWeb
features an internal clock that keeps its settings only while power is supplied. When rebooting, the date / time is reset to: 1970-01-01 00:00.
pCOWeb
can be configured so that it can set its own clock based on the time set on the pCO controller or on the time obtained from a NTP (Network Time
Protocol) server. Clock setting can happen periodically or only at start. Default is no clock synchronization active. The user can also set its own time zone.
5.1
TIME ZONE SETTING
User can specify its time zone, by selecting it from the drop-down list in clock configuration page. Default is UTC.
NOTE:
The settings will not be valid as soon as it is confirmed;
pCOWeb
needs to be rebooted.
5.2
CONFIGURING CLOCK WITH
pCO
SYNCHRONIZATION
For this to occur, the application program running on the
pCO
must transmit the information on five selected integer supervisory variables.
The page shown in
Figure 5.a
is used to enable the synchronization function and specify the indexes of the five integer supervisory variables.
Figure 5.a - Setting clock synchronisation
The page shown in Figure 5.b is used to show how integers’ values are related to the day, month, year, hour and minute data sent in supervision from the
pCO
application software. Figure 5.b shows as first integer a variable with value ‘2017; if in the variable list of the
pCO
application you find that the first
integer represents the variable current_year you can set in Figure 5.a “Year variable index” = ‘1’ and the
pCOWeb
will show in the date ‘2017’ i.e. year 2017.

NOTE
: The settings will be valid as soon as they are confirmed;
pCOWeb
does not need to be rebooted.
