Configuring the Trend Log List Time Zone

You change the time zone to display time stamps in the trend log in UTC or in the perspective of the client or EcoStruxure BMS server. By changing the time zone settings you make it easier to interpret the time stamp.

​In a trend log list, you can present the records of a trend log in different time zones: local time zone, EcoStruxure BMS server time zone, and UTC time zone.

Local Time Zone

Use local time zone to display the trend logs in real time from the perspective of the client.

For example, a trend log in Moscow is monitored on a client in Tbilisi. The trend log is recording at 8:00-13:00 local server time. 13:00 Moscow time is 14:00 Tbilisi time, so the Tiblisi trend log displays 9:00-14:00 in the client trend log list.

Server Time Zone

Use server time zone to display in real time from the perspective of the EcoStruxure BMS server.

For example, a trend log in Moscow is monitored on a client in Tbilisi. The trend log is recording at 8:00-13:00 local server time and this is how it is displayed in the client trend log list.

UTC Time Zone

Use UTC time zone to display the trend logs in the perspective of UTC.

For example, a trend log in Moscow is monitored on a client in Tbilisi. The trend log is recording at 8:00-13:00 local server time. 8:00 Moscow time is 5:00 UTC time, so the Tiblisi displays 5:00-10:00 in the trend log list.
