With data that is retrieved from outstations, PLCs and other devices that run in either UTC or Local Time without Daylight Saving Time, data is retrieved as usual.When the same Events List on a Geo SCADA Expert Client is running in UTC rather than Local Time, events that were recorded after the time change, the UTC times mirror the GMT times (as the GMT bias is UTC+0), whereas with events that were recorded before the time change, the times differ by an hour (as BST is UTC+1). The Events List on a Geo SCADA Expert Client running in Local Time will include events up to 01:59:59.999 before the time change, followed by events that occur from 01:00.00.000 onwards after the time change.This effectively repeats that hour and so results in a day that has 25 hours. The user would not see any events with time stamps between 01:00:00.000 to 01:59:59.999.Ĭonversely, in the UK the clocks jump backward by one hour in the autumn (from 02:00 BST to 01:00 GMT on the last Sunday in October). If Geo SCADA Expert logged events, for example, at 00:59:59.900 UTC and 01:00:00.100 UTC, these would appear to the user as being logged at 00:59:59.900 GMT and 02:00:00.100 BST. When the clocks jump forward, the Events List on a Geo SCADA Expert Client running in Local Time will include events up to 00:59:59.999, followed by events from 02:00.00.000 onwards.For any Geo SCADA Expert Client running in Local Time, Geo SCADA Expert converts the time values from UTC to Local Time for display on that Client. Time values are stored internally in the Geo SCADA Expert database in UTC format. No time adjustments are made for Daylight Saving Time. For more information, see Outstations with Clocks that Run in Local Time with Daylight Saving Time. With the data that Geo SCADA Expert retrieves from the outstations and other devices outside of this hour, time values are converted to UTC for storage internally in the Geo SCADA Expert database. With data that is retrieved from outstations, PLCs and other devices that run in Local Time with Daylight Saving Time, no data is retrieved for the hour that is ‘lost’ when the clocks jump forward (as that hour never existed).The affects in Geo SCADA Expert are as follows: This effectively ‘loses’ that hour and so results in a day that has only 23 hours. In the UK the clocks jump forward by one hour in the spring (from 01:00 GMT to 02:00 BST on the last Sunday in March).

( A Geo SCADA Expert Client displays times in Local Time when being used by a user whose User Account is configured to display times in Local Time.) The Geo SCADA Expert Client obtains its time locally from the PC on which it resides, including whether Daylight Saving Time adjustments apply to that particular time zone. On any Geo SCADA Expert Client running in Local Time, Geo SCADA Expert converts such time values and displays them in Local Time. Geo SCADA Expert stores time values internally in UTC.

The section uses UK Daylight Saving Time adjustments as an example, but the affects are similar in any time zone in which Daylight Saving Time adjustments are made (although the difference between Local Time and UTC may be greater). This section explains the effects of Daylight Saving Time adjustments in Geo SCADA Expert and the devices or applications with which it interacts. The system clocks in most computer-based systems can adjust automatically when Daylight Saving Time (DST) starts and ends, based on their time zone settings. This section applies to any device, feature or application that runs in Local Time with Daylight Saving Time. The Effects of Daylight Saving Time Adjustments
