  • Page 104 Time synchronization via Modbus 5.2.3.1 The FLOWSIC600-XT has a real-time clock which continues to run also in the case of a power failure. The real-time clock has a separate battery (BR2032). The time is saved as UNIX Timestamp (UTC) in the device and in the stored data records. The UNIX Timestamp specifies the number of seconds since 01.01.1970 with leap year correction.
  • Page 105 FLOWSIC600-XT Maintenance Maintenance report 5.2.4 It is advisable to regularly create and archive a Maintenance report. This serves to create a comparison database and supports diagnostics. The operating conditions (gas composition, pressure, temperature, flow velocity) of the individual Maintenance Reports should be similar. When the individual reports are compared, it is recommended to evaluate and document deviations.
