Real time clock (RTC)
The real time clock is the basis for time-dependent process controls, e.g.:
To reduce the temperature of a heating control during the night
Increase the pressure of a water supply at certain times during the day
Real time clock: Format and commissioning
The real time clock starts as soon as the Control Unit power supply is switched on for the
first time. The real time clock comprises the time in a 24 hour format and the date in the
"day, month, year" format.
After a Control Unit power supply interruption, the real time clock continues to run for approx.
five days.
If you wish to use the real time clock, you must set the time and date once when
commissioning. If you restore the inverter factory setting, the real time clock parameters are
not reset.
