8.2.5.4 Activating time synchronization
Overview
Y
ou can synchronize the time and date of the devices in the network. This is important,
amongst other things, for ensuring that diagnostics and reports have synchronized and
correct time stamps.
The following options are available for time synchronization:
•
One device in the project acts as the time master for all other devices. All other
devices obtain the time from this device.
•
A UTC server acts as the time master for all devices. All devices obtain a so-called
coordinated universal time from the UTC server.
Prerequisites
•
T
ime synchronization only occurs for devices that support SNTP (Simple Network
Time Protocol).
Approach
1. Deactivate the Detect based on the devices option.
2. Activate the Time server as time master option.
3. Enter the IP address of the time master (a device on the network, or the UTC
server) in the Time server IP address field.
4. If applicable, configure the Synchronization interval for slaves and the Deviation thresh‐
old for slaves.
8.2.5.5 Configuring the data recorder
Overview
T
he data recorder saves records in a file.
You can start the data recorder from the relevant device window. The storage location
and file name are specified at the project level, however.
Approach
b
Ent
er the storage location and file location for the record file of the data recorder
under Data recorder.
✓
The storage location and file name of the record file are adopted.
8.2.6 Configuration
In the C
onfiguration, area you can compile the devices for a project. The available
devices can be found in the Device Catalog. The devices are displayed as Device tiles in
the working area.
