Time Information
Each event may also send the date and time when it has occurred. The MVI56-
104S module supports the CP56 time format (as defined in the protocol
specification). This format contains the milliseconds, seconds, minute, hour, day,
month and year when the event has occurred.
The MVI56-104S module may also be configured not to send any time
information with each event for certain data types.
The following "Time Type" parameters may be used to control the time
information for each data type:
Note: The client should send a Time Synchronization command to the module in order to
synchronize its date and time information, according to the protocol specifications. Depending on
certain parameters, as well as hardware limitations, the module may present some time delay over
time. The client should periodically send time synchronization requests to the 104S module.
