Sending/receiving date and time

Receiving

EIBPORT is able to receive time telegrams (EIS 3) and date telegrams (EIS 4) via EIB/KNX to set the internal system clock. If the clock drift of the EIBPORT system clock is too great, it is corrected. Enable objects can be issued. Time telegrams can also include the date; date telegrams can also include the time. The tolerable clock drift before the system clock is corrected is given in seconds.

Note: Alternatively, the internal clock can also be synchronised via an NTP time server. The connection data of the NTP time servers is entered in the ConfigTool under "Network settings". In this case the time information is retrieved automatically. This requires an internet connection.

Sending

The EIBPORT is able to send time telegrams (EIS 3) and date telegrams (EIS 4). Enable objects can be issued. The time interval between sending two telegrams (telegram pause) is given in seconds.

Gate Group Addresses

By Gate Group Addresses job will be released or blocked. It is about an EIS1 object:

• Field blank = Job is released.

• Field completed, value 1 = Job released.

• Field completed, value 0 = job locked.

• Field completed, no value = job locked.

As soon as one address is filled in, release will behave respective to the value of the group address. If no value was sent to the address and the address is presently without values, job will be blocked.
