Utilities - Set Real-Time Clock
When Set Real-Time Clock is selected, Toolbox reads
the PC's time and date and these values are used for the
default settings. The defaults can be changed and then
downloaded to the RTU by selecting OK.
Correct RTU time and date can be important when using
event logs or other ladder functions. Some processors
(eg. LP-1/2/3) will behave erratically unless the clock is set
to a valid setting.
The clock can also be set from ladder logic using clock
registers.
Utilities - Warm Start RTU
A Warm Start is equivalent to a power reset which causes
the RTU to perform self-diagnostics and to set
communication buffers to their default states.
A warm start retains the IO module inputs and outputs,
local and network register values, event logs, RTU
configuration and ladder logic.
A warm start will automatically occur after downloading
the RTU configuration but not after downloading ladder
logic.
A warm start can also be triggered from ladder logic using
the system register #YSYS.WARMST.
