The Modbus user map provides read-only access for up to 256 registers. To obtain a memory map value, enter the desired
address in the line (this value must be converted from hex to decimal format). The corresponding value is dis-

The date and time can be synchronized a known time base and to other relays using an IRIG-B signal. It has the same
accuracy as an electronic watch, approximately ±1 minute per month. If an IRIG-B signal is connected to the relay, only the
current year needs to be entered. See the
The
REAL TIME CLOCK EVENTS
The
LOCAL TIME OFFSET FROM UTC
(Greenwich Mean Time) in hours. This setting has two uses. When the C30 is time synchronized with IRIG-B, or has no
permanent time synchronization, the offset is used to calculate UTC time for IEC 61850 features. When the C30 is time
synchronized with SNTP, the offset is used to determine the local time for the C30 clock, since SNTP provides UTC time.
The daylight savings time (DST) settings can be used to allow the C30 clock can follow the DST rules of the local time
zone. Note that when IRIG-B time synchronization is active, the DST settings are ignored. The DST settings are used when
the C30 is synchronized with SNTP, or when neither SNTP nor IRIG-B is used.
Only timestamps in the event recorder and communications protocols are affected by the daylight savings time set-
tings. The reported real-time clock value does not change.
NOTE
GE Multilin
values can be entered as required in any of the register positions.
