Select a synchronization interval of 10 s if the CPU is the time master on the S7-400 
backplane bus. 
The time master sends its first message frame via SFC 0 "SET_CLK" or via a programming 
device function once the time has been set for the first time. If another interface was 
configured as a time slave or as an NTP client, the time starts once the first time message 
frame has been received. 
Information about time synchronization for PCS 7 is available in the manual SIMATIC
