Specifying the time zone
The gateway system always saves all measured values from the sensors in UTC, which
stands for Coordinated Universal Time. Using universal time makes it possible to calculate
or specify the time consistently anywhere in the world.
Taking UTC as the base time, each time zone can be specified in terms of the number of
hours it differs from another time zone. This way, the difference between a particular time
zone and universal time is indicated using "UTC+/- X hours".
The browser’s UTC timezone is preset in the corresponding field. In this example, the time
zone is
UTC+1.00 (Amsterdam, Berlin, etc.)
.
On the basis of this setting, all measured values in the analyses on the SICK online portal
will be displayed with an offset of UTC+1 hour (winter time) or UTC+2 hours (summer
time). If
UTC-5.00
Eastern Time (US & Canada)
were to be selected as the time zone
here instead, the offset displayed would be UTC-5.
▸
Consider the local time in which sensor values should be displayed for monitoring and
alter the suggested time zone accordingly.
A sensor records a measured value in
New York
at 05:00
local time
. The measured value
is saved at 10:00 UTC.
•
For a user based in Germany, where the time zone is set as
UTC+1.00 (Amsterdam,
Berlin, etc.)
, the measured value will be given a time stamp of 11:00 (UTC+1) in their
analyses.
