Date and Time Synchronization
8.8.1
The integrated date and time synchronization of your SIPROTEC 5 device allows you to assign the precise time
of events to an internally maintained device time. Events in the logs are stamped with the device time. These
time stamps are also transmitted during transmission to substation automation technology or via a protection
interface. You can synchronize the device time using external time sources. You can also take local time zones
and daylight-saving time arrangements into consideration.
Setting Time and Date

DIGSI 5.
