Runtime Data – States

Figure: Runtime Data – States

Status messages are listed in the States view.

The following information is provided:

 

Date and time of ignition controller

The date and time can be individually configured for each ignition controller and saved in the device. The device does not adjust automatically for daylight savings time. Hence, deviations may occur between the device time and the time on the computer used to access the device.

Correspondingly, the times indicated for the states, messages, and in the log reflect the time of the ignition controller. The current time of the ignition controller is shown in the view Runtime Data – Information. You can adjust the time of the ignition controller by entering the desired time in the menu via Device -> Set date and time.

 

Status messages are displayed in black if they are current. If a status is reset, the status message is displayed gray for 10 seconds before it is deleted from the list.

The following status messages can be displayed:
