Clock information is updated at the following times.
*1 The clock information is updated if acquiring the NTP server clock information is enabled on the NTP Tab
Page.
*2 According to the option that is selected for the NTP operation timing on the NTP Tab Page.
• NTP clock synchronization is normally performed as follows:
• If the clock deviation is within 128 ms: The clock is synchronized every 0.5 ms.
• If the clock deviation exceeds 128 ms: The clock is synchronized immediately.
• If the NTP operation timing is set for a specified time interval, the timing will not change even if
the time in the CPU Unit is changed during operation. The time information is updated auto-
matically. (For example, if the time interval is set to 60 minutes, the information is updated 60
minutes after the last time it was updated even if the time in the CPU Unit is changed.)
