Table 7: Settings – Time
When operating as a "
Master
", the system time is actively sent from the unit to the bus.
When selected as a "
Slave
", the unit receives the system time from another unit on the bus, for
example via an MDT IP Interface/Router.
With the setting "
Slave (Master on failure)
", the unit is set as a slave. If the system time is not
received from the external timer within a certain time, the unit becomes the "Master" and sends the
current time cyclically to the bus.
Note!
A time must be defined for the function. The time for cyclical transmission of the "Slave"
should be set the same as the time for cyclical transmission of the "Master".
The "
Automatic changeover of summertime
" can be done in two ways. With the setting "
active
(Europe)
" the changeover takes place automatically at the set times in spring and autumn. With the
setting "
active (individual)
", the times can be set by the user. When activated, the following table
appears and is then configured accordingly:

Furthermore, it can be set whether the time shift should be 1 hour or 2 hours.
