6.6 Synchronized time of day, as the basis for digitalization
Acquired information can only be evaluated correctly if the time reference to reality is
unambiguous. For example, it is important to know when load peaks occur because only than
can causes be discovered and remedied.
7KN Powercenter 3000 provides the following options for doing this:
1. Date and time, in the time zones, can be set and retained through power failures with
battery backup.
2. 7KN Powercenter 3000 can obtain the data and time of day from up to 3 different NTP
servers, e.g. from the Internet via the external interface.
3. 7KN Powercenter 3000 provides its date and time of day to the connected devices as an NTP
server, both on request and as a broadcast.
You can find more information in chapter Time synchronization (Page 88).
