The Hilscher system time does not match Beijing time
Thread Content
Our company has been using the Inovance system for 6 years, and now there is a difference of a few minutes between the server time and Beijing time. Could you please advise on how to resolve this issue?
Is your DCS MACS V5 or MACS V6? Without GPS, if the system time is not corrected for an extended period, deviations are inevitable.

Clock synchronization does not require your DCS clock to be in sync with Beijing time; rather, it means that the clocks of various servers, operation stations, and CPUs within the system must be synchronized with each other. Inconsistencies don’t matter; it’s possible to estimate. As long as you don’t have a real-time calibration device, the time on a manual clock server is useless; it will still be slow for some time after making adjustments. Moreover, frequently adjusting the clock manually affects the timestamps used for archiving trends and alarms; this can result in breaks in the trends and chaos in the data.
