To allow the value resulting from local events or interventions to be transferred to the master,
the data point in question requires a channel for mirroring back.
This mirroring back function is enabled using the "Value monitoring (Reporting Changes)"
option in the STEP 7 configuration, refer to the section "General" parameter group
(Page 50).
Remember that to use the mirror back function, you need to interconnect the local values in
the controller with the relevant PLC tag of the data point.
Time stamp of the DNP3 CP in UTC format
Time stamps are transferred in UTC format (48 bits) and contain milliseconds since
01.01.1970.
