Re: Old OCPP 2.0 RC2 Time Zones description

Hi Bill (and all)

I have not received any remarks on this. 

Does that mean you all agree and this can be put into the specification?

Kind regards,

Hi Bill,

As promised, hereby the text for Time as defined in the old OCPP 2.0 RC2 document.

1.1     
Time Zones
& Daylight Saving Time

1.1.1         
Time Zones

To improve
interoperability between Central Systems and Charge Points all time values SHOULD
be exchanged as UTC, with the time zone designator ‘Z’, as specified by ISO
8601.

For the purpose of displaying local time
on a charge point’s display, the device model’s Clock component supports
specifying a time offset between Central System time (UTC or otherwise) and
local time at the Charge Point.

1.1.2         
Daylight
Saving Time

To support punctual
automated bi-annual changeover between “standard time” and “daylight saving
time” periods, the device model supports configuration values of the Clock
component that allow transitions between “standard” and “daylight saving” time
periods to be automated by specifying a “next” transition date-time and a corresponding
“next” time offset.

Kind regards,
Robert de Leeuw
