Concept
Time and Time Zone Configuration in Automation Server
To adjust the SmartStruxure server device time, time zone, and DST, you have to access the SmartStruxure server device through a WorkStation.
When adjusting the SmartStruxure server device 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 a SmartStruxure server device. When the SmartStruxure server device is running on a fully commissioned site, it is important that you use a network time server to avoid drifting time in the SmartStruxure server device.
When adjusting the SmartStruxure server device time through WorkStation, it is the SmartStruxure server device operating system clock you adjust. Building Operation has a transparent layer above the SmartStruxure server device operating system which manages the information about the time zone and DST time offset.
The Automation Server uses the operating system clock to which Building Operation adds the time zone offset and DST
Instead of configuring the time of each SmartStruxure server device, you can create a lead and shadow relationship that makes it possible to configure several SmartStruxure server devices through a single Enterprise Server.
