REAL TIME CLOCK
The date and time can be synchronized a known time base and to other relays using an IRIG-B signal. It has the same
accuracy as an electronic watch, approximately ±1 minute per month. If an IRIG-B signal is connected to the relay, only the
current year needs to be entered. See the
COMMANDS
ÖØ
SET DATE AND TIME
menu to manually set the relay clock.
The
REAL TIME CLOCK EVENTS
setting allows changes to the date and/or time to be captured in the event record.
The
LOCAL TIME OFFSET FROM UTC
setting is used to specify the local time zone offset from Universal Coordinated Time
(Greenwich Mean Time) in hours. This setting has two uses. When the G60 is time synchronized with IRIG-B, or has no
permanent time synchronization, the offset is used to calculate UTC time for IEC 61850 features. When the G60 is time
synchronized with SNTP, the offset is used to determine the local time for the G60 clock, since SNTP provides UTC time.
The daylight savings time (DST) settings can be used to allow the G60 clock can follow the DST rules of the local time
zone. Note that when IRIG-B time synchronization is active, the DST settings are ignored. The DST settings are used when
the G60 is synchronized with SNTP, or when neither SNTP nor IRIG-B is used.
Only timestamps in the event recorder and communications protocols are affected by the daylight savings time set-
tings. The reported real-time clock value does not change.
