2.49.11 Date and Time Stamping
The integrated date/clock management enables the exact timely assignment of events e.g., those in the oper-
ational messages and fault messages or in the lists of the minimum/maximum values.
2.49.11.1Functional Description
Mode of Operation
The time can be influenced by
• internal RTC (Real Time Clock),
• external synchronization sources (e.g. DCF77, IRIG B),
• external minute pulses via binary input.
Note
Upon delivery of the device, the internal clock RTC is always set by default as synchronization source, regard-
less of whether the device is equipped with a system interface or not. If the time synchronization is to use an
external source, this must be selected.
The procedure for changing the synchronization source is described in detail in the SIPROTEC 4- System De-
scription.
The following operating modes can be selected :
Either the European time format (DD.MM.YYYY) or the US format (MM/DD/YYYY) can be specified for the
device display
To preserve the internal battery, this switches off automatically after some hours in the absence of an auxiliary
voltage supply.
