When telecontrol communication is enabled, the CP always obtains its local time of
day as UTC time from the communications partner. The time of day of the CP can be
read by the CPU using a PLC tag. For information on the format of the time stamp of
the data frames, refer to the section Datapoint types (Page 59).
If telecontrol communication is disabled, the CP can synchronize its time of day via
NTP.
