Default = Not selected.  Select to use RDBE instead of NRT for time synchronization. For BSAP, the device time can be read or written using either default time items or the RDB Extension read/write time command.

Info

Older Network 3000 devices (model numbers less than 3500) generally don't support RDB Extension messages, so don't check the option to use that. These default time items that are supported by most older Network 3000 devices will be used to read the time are:

#TIME.002. (year)
#TIME.003. (month)
#TIME.004. (day)
#TIME.005. (hour)
#TIME.006. (minute)
#TIME.007. (second)

Info

Teleflows (model numbers 35xx) support RDB Extension messages. Check the option to use that for time sync. Read individual date/time fields with the RDBE Extension message using these extended items:

#TIME_HOUR
#TIME_MIN
#TIME_SEC
#TIME_DAY
#TIME_MON
#TIME_YEAR

Info

ControlWaves support RDB Extension messages and also support the following default time items, so either time sync method will work:

@GV._TIME_002 (year)
@GV._TIME_003 (month)
@GV._TIME_004 (day)
@GV._TIME_005 (hour)
@GV._TIME_006 (minute)
@GV._TIME_007 (second)

ControlWaves can also use the RDBE message extended items that the Teleflows use to read individual date/time fields.
