Hi,
I am trying to extend GE Mark Vie DCS
alarms to third party system. We have
learnt that the third party system supports
OPC UA service hence, we have
configured one of the Workstation as OPC
UA server and enabled client certificate
and established communication.
There is a issue here that the time stamp
observed in GE Mark Vie Alarm viewer
(Device Time) and OPC client (Device
Time) are different. OPC Client reading a
delay in device time. Can some one help
me is that ok? or is there any way that i
can reduce the delay??

Thank you very much in advance for your

help

Best Regards,

Hi

The NTP (Network time protocol) may not

be setted /configured properly...
I advise you to search on that side..
For a global time synchronization.

Any time!

Hi,
Thank you for your reply.
Actually in alarm server events and OPC
UA alarms, we have device time stamp. if
there is difference in NTP settings then i
believe that should reflect on recorded
time. (Correct me if i am wrong). I did a
simulation with controller clock different
with workstation clock and observed
device time stamps recorded same in
both OPC UA client and GE workstation
Alarm server. But when we go live, I
observed there is a minimum of 80ms
difference in device times.

Hi

THx for the inputs

Plz have aread on page 112 till 114 of GEH

6721 Vol1 ...

All necessary informations on NTP

configuration and operation is well
described also how flow between client &
server are done...

I'm assuming you are looking at the alarm
variable via normal OPC UA data, not the
OPC UA alarm and event interface.
Basically, the alarm system in the Mark
VIe timestamps the actual transition of the
alarm variable, but the OPC UA (non AE)
timestamp is that of the EGD exchange
carrying the variable, which is a periodic
data source. Hence, the two timestamps
will not be equal, and you lose some
precision on the exact time the alarm or
event occurred if you're just looking at the
periodic data.

If you want the actual alarm timestamp

you'll have to consume OPC UA alarm and
event data.
