The weighing module has its own hardware clock. The current date and time are specified by
or read from data record DR 8. The clock is buffered with a capacitor and can continue
operating for up to approximately 70 hours without a supply voltage. If you are using the
Modbus protocol, data record DR 48 must be used for the date and time.
● Set the date and time
