Time Synchronization in the current data system

Time synchronization is supported in the PGC5000 with

Version 3.0.3.12 and later software.

This feature can be implemented either through a Modbus link

direct from the PGC5000 (acting as a Modbus Slave), or from

a connection to the VistaGateway either using an OPC

connection or a Modbus connection.

With an OPC connection, the tag that is connected and

written to by an OPC Client is the following.

Note: OPC connection not available direct from PGC5000.

SetAnalyzerDate

This is a Canonical Date Type 7 (i.e. DATE).

With a Modbus master connection, the time is set by

adding the following entry to the Modbus Map.

Analyzername.SetAnalyzerClock,1.40001.DATE,

This will then reserve 7 registers in the following order.

40001 Hour

40002 Minute

40003 Second

40004 Day of month

40005 Month

40006 Year

40007 Day of week

The time and date information must be written starting with

hour and finished with the day of the week register. The latter

will trigger the setting of time.
