7.1.2 NTP Server Time Synchronization
It is important to first set the system time of the PLX32-EIP-MBTCP-UA. It
is best to maintain the PLX32-EIP-MBTCP-UA system time by
synchronizing with an NTP (Network Time Protocol) server.
Important: If the NTP Server IP address is a public IP address, the NTP packet will ONLY be
routed through OPC UA Ethernet port 2. Therefore, Ethernet Port 2 will need access to the public
IP addresses.
1 In PCB, double-click on the SNTP CLIENT icon within the PLX32-EIP-
MBTCP-UA tree.
2 In the Edit – SNTP CLIENT dialog box, enter the IP address of an NTP
server. Please consult your IT administrator for a suitable NTP server.
3 Click OK.
4 Save the PCB project, then download it to the PLX32-EIP-MBTCP-UA, as
shown on page 27.
