Principle
To ensure and check the completeness and correctness of the time synchronization settings 
for the system components, a separate record or documentation of these settings is 
recommended: 
● Excel template
Using an Excel table, you can record and continually document how the time 
synchronization is configured for each individual component. This allows you to have an 
overview of all components und their relations in terms of time synchronization.
You will find an example template attached to this contribution in the Industry Online 
Support, which you can adapt and fill out for your system configurations.
● Drawing 
In addition or as an alternative to the Excel template, the settings for time synchronization 
can be recorded graphically. Based on a drawing of the system components used as well 
as their networking, arrows can be introduced, which represent the adjusted time 
synchronization.
