AH500 Module Manual 
9-28 
 
  Correction cycle 
AH10/15EN-5A synchronizes the real-time clock in an AH500 series CPU module to a slave on 
a network through the Network Time Protocol (NTP). To ensure that time is correct, the time is 
corrected every specific period of time. The default value is 10 minutes. The setting range is 
from 1 minute to 1440 minutes. 
  Using Daylight saving time 
Daylight saving time─also summer time─is the practice of adjusting clocks forward one hour 
near the start of spring and adjusted backward in autumn. The total number of hours in a day in 
spring is 23. Whether a country uses daylight saving time depends on its policy. Since Taiwan 
does not use DST, the daylight saving time function is not enabled. 
  Start date, end date, and time when a one-hour shift occurs 
After the Daylight Saving Time checkbox is selected, users can set a start date, an end data, 
and time when a one-hour shift occurs. 
  NTP slave 
Users can set the IP address of an NTP slave.
 The real-time clock in a CPU module can be 
synchronized to the NTP slave. 
  Time zone 
The earth is divided into 24 time zones. Each time zone calculates local time in relation to 
Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). Users can select the city in which their device is located, or 
specify the time difference between a local time zone and Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
 
  Enabling the NTP slave service 
AH10/15EN-5A can function as an NTP slave. Modules on a network can be synchronized to 
AH10/15EN-5A. 
 
9.4.7  Intelligent Module Configuration─Email 
Electronic mail, also known as email, operates across the Internet or other computer networks. 
AH10/15EN-5A is equipped with the function of sending emails. Users can enter a text message 
related to a description of a status or an error in the SMTP Subject box. If a condition of triggering 
the sending of an email is met, the email will be sent to the users. There are three subtabs in the 
Email tab.
