●
Time-of-day synchronization
– When telecontrol communication is enabled, the CP obtains its local time of day as
UTC time from the partner (TCSB). The time of day can be read from the CPU. The
mechanisms are described in the STEP 7 information system.
For information on the format of the time stamp, refer to the section Datapoint types
(Page 67).
If telecontrol communication is disabled, the time of day can be obtained from an NTP
server.
– If the security functions are enabled, the secure method NTP (secure) can be used.
For more information, refer to the section Time-of-day synchronization (Page 46).
