Note
You require administrator rights to set the date and time on the PCU/PC.
3.3 Using the time server
To ensure that the correct time information is always automatically available to the control, you
can connect up to three time servers to the operating software. Make your settings in the "Set
Date and Time" window.
Note
The "Use time server" setting is not available for SINUMERIK Operate on PCU/PC/IPC.
NOTICE
Time synchronization errors
Do not set the time synchronization on two different systems; this means:
Select the NTP server either in the PLC project via PROFINET IO (X150) or in the file
"basesys.ini" on the NCU in section [LinuxBase], but not in both simultaneously, as an
additional time zone can be specified on the NCU, and not in the PLC project.
References
Further information on the configuration file "basesys.ini" and the use of external time servers
can be found in the following document:
NCU Operating System (IM7) Commissioning Manual, chapter "Configuring the system" >
"Configuration file "basesys.ini"" > "Section [LinuxBase]"
Requirement
You require as a minimum access level 3 (User) to use time servers.
Checking the connection status
The icon on the right in field "Name / IP" shows the status of the server connection.
Icon Meaning
The connection status is unknown. The settings have not yet been processed or set.
You are connected to the time server. The system is successfully synchronizing times.
