Setting the time zone

The time zone setting in the deviceWISE Enterprise Gateway software must match the time zone that you set for the CP 343-1 ERPC using the STEP 7 program.
Follow these steps:

  1. From the Workbench left pane, expand the Enterprise Gateway whose time zone you want to set.
  2. Select the Administration icon.
    The Administration window appears.

  3. Select the Timezone tab.

  4. Select the Timezone down-arrow, and then select a time zone from the list. The selected time zone must be comparable to the time zone set in Setting the initial time of day for the SIMATIC S7-300 station.
  5. Select Save.
  6. A message appears saying the setting was saved. Select OK.

    Notice that the time settings were changed to reflect the specified time zone. For this example, New York.

Important

For the time zone change to take effect, you must turn off and then turn on the SIMATIC S7-300 station.


The next task is Starting the local S7-300 device and viewing variables.
