5.13 Time There are two sets of Time registers supported by the PMC-340 – Year / Month / Day / Hour / Minute / Second (Register # 60000 to 60002) and UNIX Time (Register # 60004). When sending time to the PMC-340 over Modbus communications, care should be taken to only write one of the two Time register sets.
CET Inc. specified in registers 60000-60002 will be ignored. Writing to the Millisecond register (60003) is optional during a Time Set operation. When broadcasting time, the function code must be set to 0x10 (Pre-set Multiple Registers). Incorrect date or time values will be rejected by the meter. In addition, attempting to write a Time value less than Jan 1, 2000 00:00:00 will be rejected.
