9 Synchronizing the system time in the network
Many applications rely on a time that is as correct as possible. The necessary accuracy, and thus
the allowable deviation from the actual time, depends on the application area.
Examples of application areas include:
Log entries
Time stamping of production data
Process control
The device lets you synchronize the time on the network using the following options:
The Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) is a simple solution for low accuracy requirements.
Under ideal conditions, SNTP achieves an accuracy in the millisecond range. The accuracy
depends on the signal delay.
