Consistent date and timestamping across a network is critical for system wide access control, security, communications, scheduling, alarms, and events. Network time uses the NTP protocol that provides the correct current UTC time.
To run the EcoStruxure Building Operation software, you need to install and license the software. To keep your system maintained and up to date, you need to upgrade the software.
You display the server time using a Time Stamp Value object when you want to display the local time for a server in another time zone than the client time zone.
Use the Time tab to configure the network time server addresses or establish a lead and shadow relationship on EcoStruxure BMS servers.
You define and change the unit and its prefix for a value to ensure that the value is correct calculated.
You add a language to WebStation so that the user can change to this language.
Use the Add or remove languages dialog box to add or remove language that can be selected in WebStation.
Use the Date and time tab to configure the server to use an external NTP server and to configure a time zone.
The EcoStruxure Building Operation software handles values and numbers with the highest precision. By default, the unit of a value is converted according to the regional settings of the user’s operating system.
In WorkStation, all times are by default displayed in local time. This means that a time, independent of its source, is displayed in the same time zone as the operating system on which WorkStation is installed. By configuring the operating system time and time zone settings, you configure how times are displayed in WorkStation. For more information, please refer to the manufacturer’s manual for the operating system.
