NUCLEUS Installation and Operation Manual 45
Appendix B
Displaying NTP Time
Overview
The display on NUCLEUS and NUCLEUS-DM control panels can be
used as a digital clock to display the current time. The clock can display
time internally generated by the control panel, or it can display time
from a Network Time Protocol (NTP) signal from within the Ethernet
network. This appendix includes information about configuring
NUCLEUS to display time from an NTP signal.
Except where noted, the term NUCLEUS is used in the manual to
refer to both NUCLEUS and NULEUS-DM.
System Requirements
NUCLEUS can display NTP time from a networked NEO frame
containing a clock system driver (CSD) if all of the following system
requirements are met:
• A CSD module is installed within the network.
• The CSD module is configured as an NTP server.
(See Chapter 5 “Network Time Protocol Support” in the NEO
CSD-3901 or CSD-3902 Clock System Driver Installation and
Operation Manual for instructions for configuring the CSD module
as an NTP server.)
• The NEO frame contains a 3901RES-E resource module.
• The control panel uses version 1.29 or newer firmware.
