7.2 Control of Device Functions
You may change individual functions and messages in a 7SA6 while the device is in-
service. Some examples are given above, including deleting stored information (Sub-
section 7.1.1.5) and setting/resetting counters and set-points (Sub-sections 7.1.2.2
and 7.1.3.3). In this section, three other control capabilities are discussed. They are
correcting the date and time, changing the settings group, and affecting information at
the system interface during test operations.
7.2.1 Read and Set Date and Time
The 7SA6 device can be connected to an external clock source, binary input or use
the internal RTC for time and date stamping.
Whether and by which synchronization source the internal clock should be set was
already determined in Section 5.7, “Date and Time Stamping”. Once the device is not
supplied with power, the internal time clock (RTC) continues working by taking its
power from the integrated buffer battery. Right after the running up of the device it
displays a plausible time. The time then is changed automatically by the
synchronization source linked to the device or is altered manually. Before initiating a
synchronization process which is going to stamp a valid time, different types of time
indication in the device display are possible. The following paragraph gives you more
details about this matter.
Time Status Besides the display of date and time, the status of these readings is also provided. The
text of the status display can have the appearances given in Table 7-2, under regular
conditions of time control.
