Time and Time Zone Configuration in Automation Server
To adjust the automation server time, time zone, and DST, you have to access the automation server through a WorkStation.
When adjusting the server clock, you can either set the time manually or you can refer to a network time server that automatically synchronizes the clock. Manual adjusting is used when you configure or commission an automation server. When the automation server is running on a fully commissioned site, it is important that you use a network time server to avoid drifting time in the automation server.
Beside predefined time zones, you can also customize the automation server time zone settings.
When adjusting the automation server time through WorkStation, it is the automation server operating system clock you adjust. The EcoStruxure Building Operation software has a transparent layer above the automation server operating system which manages the information about the time zone and DST time offset.
Instead of configuring the time of each automation server, you can create a lead and shadow relationship that makes it possible to configure several automation servers through a single Enterprise Server.
