14 LOG FILE DATA
Comments:
Date/Time: The date/time column reports the time at which data was logged from the Modbus device.
Note: this is not necessarily the time at the start of the log cycle. Users with large number of devices may
notice some of the Modbus devices at higher address numbers report 1 or 2 seconds after the first Modbus
devices. This is because the 9600 baud speed of the Modbus loop is not fast enough to log all Modbus
devices in less than 1 second. If a device does not respond during a log cycle, the EMB Hub will attempt to
query the device several more times. If a subsequent query is successful, the time of the successful query
will be used in the log file but may be several seconds after the initial log cycle.
The log date/time is in Universal time. (UTC) This means that the data is logged with no shift for daylight
savings time, and must be converted to local time for reporting purposes. When importing into a database,
data should be kept in UTC time for ease of use. When reporting the final data, you should adjust the time
to reflect the local timezone for which you are reporting. The data export option on the BMO website will
pro mpt you for a time zone when you export the data, and will adjust the log date/time accordingly.
Note: UTC is sometimes referred to as GMT. (Greenwich Mean Time).

as NULL.
