4.1.1.2 Input Local Time to UTC Time Offset (Time Zone)
The time offset between the local standard time and the world time (UTC time) is entered
with this function.
Selection frame:
S E T D I F . - T I M E
Y / N _
Input frame:
D I F - T I M E :
+ 0 1 : 0 0
_
The operational sign indicates the direction in which the local time differs from the world
time:
'+'
Corresponds to East of the Null Meridian (Greenwich)
'-'
Corresponds to West of the Null Meridian (Greenwich)
Since most countries of the world count their time offset in whole hours, the input is also in
one hour steps:
e.g. + 05:00 or - 11:00
However, some countries also use smaller time intervals. Therefore it is also possible to
input the data in one minute steps:
e.g. + 05:30 or - 08:45
The time offset always relates to the
local standard time (winter time)
,
even if commissioning or input of the time offset takes place during summer
time.
Example for Germany:

Local Time
Time offset to
be set:

13:00:00 14:00:00
(winter time)
+01:00
13:00:00 15:00:00
(summer time)
+01:00
The time offset of two hours is
made up of
+01:00h time offset and
+01:00h for the summer time
offset (changeover points of time
must be set for this purpose).
4.1.1.3 Input ST/WT Changeover Points of Time
This input is used to define the points of time at which the changeover is made to summer
time or to winter time throughout the course of the year. The hour, weekday, week and
month in which the ST/WT changeover (summer time / winter time changeover) is to take
place are given here. The exact points of time are then calculated automatically for the
current year.
