Time zones
The date and time of events that display in graphic objects are logged at runtime in the standard time zone.
FactoryTalk Optix supports three time zones:
-
UTC standard time zone.
-
Local time zone of the machine running the FTOptixApplication.
-
Session time zone supported by applications in remote sessions.
The date and time format follows the specifications of the OPC UA data type DateTime.
The BaseEventType object properties that manage date and time events include:
| Property | Data type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Time | UtcTime | Date and time of the UTC standard time zone + 0. |
| LocalTime | TimeZoneDataType | Offset in minutes between the UTC date and time and the local date and time of the device for the application. For example, on a device set to UTC + 2, the offset is 120 minutes. If applicable, the offset may include DaylightSavingInOffset. |
| TimeZoneOffset | TimeZoneDataType | Session offset of UTC + 0 for the date and time. |
