Daylight Savings Time
This section describes the function that automatically adjusts the FC6A Series MICROSmart time according to daylight savings time
settings.
For regions where the FC6A Series MICROSmart is used that implement daylight savings time, this function can automatically
adjust the FC6A Series MICROSmart clock using the daylight savings time settings. When the time reaches the daylight savings
start time, the clock is set an hour forward. When the time reaches the the daylight savings time end, the clock is set an hour
back.
The FC6A Series MICROSmart adjusts the clock for daylight savings time on the start day and the end day. However, the clock is
also adjusted for daylight savings time under the following conditions.
 When a user program was downloaded to the FC6A Series MICROSmart.
 When the FC6A Series MICROSmart power was turned on.
When the current time of the FC6A Series MICROSmart' internal clock is set using WindLDR or the operator interface, the time is
not adjusted for daylight savings time, even if the time after it was set is within the daylight savings time period. Set the time to
the time adjusted for daylight savings time. The set date and time becomes the date and time after being adjusted for daylight
savings time.
