Description of function
For the operation of a drive, the denition of a drive time is important. The following options are
available:
• Synchronize with NTP server
If the drive is connected to other devices and a central NTP server is to provide the time for
the connected devices. Alternatively, a controller can also act as NTP server.
• No synchronization, set time manually
if the drive is initially operated without control.
You set the drive time in the diagnostics view as a direct function. If a time has already been
set, it is displayed in the "Current drive time" area. If it is a synchronized time, the NTP server
used is also displayed in the "Time source" eld.
Alternatively, you can set the time settings oine in the inspector window of the drive.
However, these settings are only transferred to the drive when the drive data are loaded.
If you dierentiate the time settings between the drive and the project, this is indicated by
the . In this case, reload the drive data into the drive.
8.9.6.3 Setting t
he time with synchronization (NTP server)
Requirement

1. If the "Synchronize with NTP server" option is not enabled, enable this option.
By default, the "Use PLC as NTP server" option is now enabled. If the drive is connected to a
PLC, the IP address of the PLC is displayed.
2. Disable the option "Use PLC as NTP server".
The input eld for the IP address is cleared.
3. Enter the IP address of the desired NTP server in the "IP address" eld.
4. Select the time zone of your country in the "Time zone" area.
