SC300 Internal Clock
The SC300 has a battery-backed clock for time stamping of log entries and Control Processes.
The time and date is factory set. It can also be set manually using a web browser or can be
synchronized (either to a PC clock using DCTools or to an SNTP reference time server).
“Hardware time” is an internal value used for diagnostics. It should normally be very close to
Controller Time.
► To view the SC300 time
Either:
• Use the keypad to go to: Info.
This time is shown as Universal Coordinated Time (UTC). Web and PowerManagerII convert
local PC time to/from UTC for the SC300. For practical purposes UTC is equivalent to
Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).
Or:
• In Web go to: System > Controller Time.
• In DCTools go to: Configuration > Time.
This time is set to the SC300 time adjusted to the time zone set in the PC.
► To set the time using web
1 Connect to the SC300 via a web browser. (See Ethernet Communications on page 104.)
2 Go to System > Time.
3 Click on the time-date field to select the text.
4 Select the time or date text to be changed and type the correct time/date. Note: The editing
format is not the same as the display format. Enter the new date / time in the format yyyy-mm-dd
hh:mm:ss.
5 Press Enter on the keyboard. Then select Apply in the Changes window.
Time Synchronization
If required, the SC300 time can be synchronized either to the internal time of a PC or laptop, or to a
reference time server using SNTP protocol (SC300 must have access to the server).
