Hi,

If user selects correct timezone in CONF configuration and selected daylight saving time check box while configuration and downloaded the configuration to controller, then set time from commissioning mode when D-PS resource is in running state, via option > set system time. enter actual correct date and time in actual time window. and press ok without waiting for long.

This will set time in controller and I guess the setting enabled for daylight saving in CONF configuration will adjust against daylight savings.

I recommend go through manual for time setting in configuration or commissioning manual, it's always confusing to me but reading twice clears the doubt :)

Hope that helps.

What you mean by communication cable ? diagnostic cable you mean ? If you are able to go into commissioning mode with controller via CBF, you can set controller time, check answer of the following link.

that can never happen, if you have selected correct resource for that controller. do you have one controller or many in project ? timesynchronisation enabled ? your computer(CBF Eng Station) is at correct time ?

>I have enable time synchronisation in Configure windows.
>My computer is correct time
>I have 6 controller: 3 groups and redundancy.
Now, I have get diagnostic cable and connect with controller. Switch Run/Stop is Stop position. When I restart my controller. I received message from controller. But until:
"To change these parameters, hit <SPACE> within 2 seconds"
I hit <Space> but cant enter configure mode. And controller start normally. What is notice in this condition?

Ok got it, no need to connect diagnostic cable, bring controller in run mode,
In internet browser type any primary controller ip address and go to webserver of that controller. check which controller is active time master ?
If you can not find then by default controller set at lowest ip address will be time master.
So select that controller resource in project tree and follow set system time procedure as mentioned before.
then time will get set and all controller will follow the time master. so check for time master controller and set time of that controller.

Regarding hit<space> not working check hyper terminal or teraterm setting or check diagnostic cable.

Ok. I will try this solution. Ah. I have a question. In message of hyper terminal, time in controller is 1/1/2010. If I follow this solution, time in controller can change (I use value Controller.DateTime to display DateTime of Controller)?
