Date and Time
The WIC1 lacks a real-time clock. This is an intended construction aspect, because a
real-time clock would have required a buó°Šžer battery and even communication protocols for
time synchronization. The WIC1, however, has been designed to operate in a remote station
for years without special maintenance (like exchanging a battery).
Instead of an absolute timestamp, the WIC1 stores the operating time in all entries of the
Fault Recorder and System Recorder. This is the operating time since the last restart, and in
addition to this, also the current value of the restart counter is stored.
If there is a connection to DiggiMEC (or Smart view), this operating time (plus restart
counter) can be seen at [Operation / Time]. But of course, changing these values is
not possible.
