We would like to set this up without automatic DST selected, to allow us to manually change the time. However we keep getting connection error messages between the OS/BS server and the clients. The system cannot seem to cope without the automaticDST turned on. any ideas how to overcome this?

A controller in PCS7 works always in (GMT) Greenwich Mean Time. WinCC will correct the alarms and the trends to its local PC time. So if you set the PC to a certain time zone, WinCC will pickup the PC time.
