5.7.3 Time Synchronization
The synchronization function can run when a synchronized signal is provided for respective
IEDs; the user should select one of the following synchronization methods using the setting
[Time_Sync_Src]:
• SNTP method
• IRIG-B method
• Binary Input (BI) method
(i) Synchronization using SNTP
Example of SNTP synchronization
The SNTP method is possible when IEDs connect with time-servers. Figure 5.7-3 exemplifies
two servers are connected with the IEDs using the LAN.

Setting procedure
The user should make the following steps in respective IEDs.
1) Set SNTP for the setting [Time Sync Src]; then set On for the setting [SNTP].
2) Set the address of a time server using settings [Server1]. The settings [Server2],
[Server3], and [Server4] are provided for other time-servers.
3) Check that the SNTP is shown under the ActivSyncSrc, as shown in Figure 5.7-4.
4) Check to see that the time zone and the DST are set correctly (see 5.7.4 and 5.7.5).
