ASCII Command Reference
Command Description
TIME
Use the TIME command to view and set the relay time clock. The ASCII inter-
face is just one source by which you can set the internal clock. Other sources can
override the ASCII TIME command; overriding occurs in HIRIG time mode,
IRIG time mode, and when using DNP3. See Section 11: Time and Date Man-
agement for more information on configuring time functions.
TIME
The TIME command returns information about the internal relay clock. You can
also set the clock to local time if you specify hours and minutes (seconds data are
optional). Separate the hours, minutes, and seconds with colons, semicolons,
spaces, commas, or slashes.
If a valid IRIG-B or SNTP signal is connected to the relay, the TIM command
cannot be used to set the relay time.
Use the TIME hh:mm and TIME hh:mm:ss commands to set the relay internal
clock time. The value hh is for hours from 0–23, the value mm is for minutes
from 0–59, and the value ss is for seconds from 0–59. If you enter a valid time,
the relay updates and saves the time in the nonvolatile clock, and displays the
time you just entered. If you enter an invalid time, the relay responds,
Invalid
Time
.
TIME Q
The TIME Q command returns detailed information on the relay internal clock.
Use this command to query the status of high-accuracy time source inputs and the
present clock time mode.
When you issue the TIME Q command, the relay reports statistics on the relay
time sources. These statistics include the present time source and the last time
value update source (see TIME Q Command on page 11.8).
