1-4-5 FTP Client
The built-in EtherNet/IP port contains an FTP client. With it, you can use FTP client communications
instructions to transfer files between the CPU Unit and host computers on Ethernet.
This makes it possible to exchange data files between a host computer and the Controller with the Con-
troller as the FTP client and the host computer as the FTP server.
With the built-in EtherNet/IP port, clock information is read from the NTP server at the specified time or
at a specified interval after the power supply to the CPU Unit is turned ON. The internal clock time in the
CPU Unit is updated with the read time.
Precautions for Correct UsePrecautions for Correct Use
An NTP server is required to use automatic clock adjustment.
