Transferring the Configuration and the Program

For information on how to transfer the project to the PacDrive controller, refer to the EcoStruxure Machine Expert Online Help.

Adjust Real-Time Clock

The real-time clock is not adjusted at the time of delivery of the device. Summer and winter time is considered by the device. As of LMC firmware V1.64.x.x, the time zone information is supported. SysTimeRtcSetTimeZone allows the configuration (preconfigured for CET). LMC parameter RealTimeClock can be set with SetRealTimeClock or SysTimeRtcSet. If the real-time clock is not adjusted, the time and date specifications in the message logger will not be correct. Make certain that the real-time clock is adjusted correctly.
