WCCIL00event - PARAM/WARNING - Source time outside valid limits (resource: validTimeDiff)

Enclosed you'll find the explanation of a log-message which can be displayed during startup of the project. The log message is written to the PVSS_II.log-file.

WCCILevent (0), 2012.04.05 20:48:30.299, PARAM,WARNING, 20, Source time outside valid limits (resource: validTimeDiff), DP: System1:Plant1.signal.in:_original.._value, MAN: (SYS: 1 Driver -num 1 CONN: 1)

Log-message with symbolic names:

WCCILevent (0), <TIMESTAMP>, PARAM,WARNING, 20, Source time outside valid limits (resource: validTimeDiff), DP: <DPE-name>, MAN: (SYS: <system-number> <manager-type> -num <manager-number> CONN: <connection>)

These log messages describe that manager <manager-type> with the <manager-number> sent a message with a timestamp that is too far in the future. The message is discarded and it is documented with this log message.

To solve the problem, check the time settings for the servers and the client computers, especially the computer running the manager (indicated in the log message).

If the log message is written for a driver running on the server, check the time of the data source for the driver. e.g. the PLC or an OPC server.

The limits can be defined with the config entries validTimeDiff and valueChangeTimeDiff
