2.1.2 Relative time function
Relative time switch:
The clock is activated on a start signal and remains active until the
parameterized time interval has elapsed.

2.1.3 Additional functions
• Summer/wintertime changeover:
The clock changes the absolute system time in the S7-CPU by plus or
minus one hour, depending on whether the time changeover is from
winter to summer time, or from summer to winter time.
For this changeover there are two alternatives:
1. Radio-controlled changeover (for this alternative you have to use the
radio-controlled clock shown in figure 2-1):
The system time is being synchronized after the clock connected to
the system has sent the changeover signal.
