5.2.7 Time server configuration
Introduction
The HMI device has an unbuffered realtime clock. The realtime clock is set either using the
configuration or using a time server.
To fetch the time-of-day of the HMI device from a time server, specify up to four different
time servers. The time-of-day is synchronized via the "Network Time Protocol" (NTP). Also
specify the update cycle of the time-of-day and, if necessary, a time shift. Update cycle and
time shift are valid for all configured time servers.
You can test the availability of each time server separately.
Procedure
Proceed as follows:
1. Switch to "Info/Settings > Logon/Settings > Transfer/Network > NTP" menu on the HMI
device.
2. To activate the acquisition of a time-of-day from a time server, set the value under
"Synchronisation with time server" to "Enable".
The menu entries "Server <Number> IP Address ", Test Server <Number>", "Update
rate" and "Time shift" appear.
3. Enter the IP address of the time server under "Server <Number> IP Address ".
4. To test the availability of the time server, select the command "Test Server <Number>".
The connection is established. If the connection was successfully established, date and
time are displayed. Any value set at "Time shift" will not be taken into consideration.
5. If required, configure additional time servers.
6. At "Update rate", enter the time duration in seconds according to which the time-of-day
will be synchronized.
Value range: 10 to 86400 (1 day)
7. If required, enter the time shift in "±hh:mm" under "Time shift".
Value range: -24:00 to +24:00
