to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).
Or:
In DCTools go to: Configuration > Identity.
This time is set to the SC200 time adjusted to the time zone set in the PC.
Or:
In Web go to: Configuration > Time.

Time Synchronization
If required, the SC200 time can be synchronized either to the internal time of a PC or laptop, or
to a reference time server using SNTP protocol (SC200 must have access to the server).
► To synchronize the SC200 time using DCTools or PowerManagerII
1 Ensure the time on the PC is correct before synchronizing.
PowerManagerII can be set to automatically synchronize SC200 clocks.
2 Connect to the SC200 with DCTools/PowerManagerII. (See Communications Options on page
82.)
3 Go to Configuration >Identity > Time Synchronization
4 Click Synchronize to synchronize the SC200 time to the PC/laptop time.
DCTools, Web and PowerManagerII convert local PC time to/from UTC for the SC200.
► To synchronize the SC200 time using SNTP
For more information on SNTP, including a list of public SNTP servers, visit www.ntp.org
http://www.ntp.org.
Ensure that your network has an internal SNTP server or allows access to an external server. It
may be necessary to configure access through your network's firewall.
1 Connect to the SC200 via DCTools/Web.
