Time-of-day synchronization

Time-of-day synchronization of all components involved
PCS 7 time-of-day synchronization must be planned, configured and used with SIMATIC
BATCH.
The time on the AS serves as the basis for the time stamping of recipe element status
transitions. This time must be synchronized with the time of the PCS 7 OS server and the
clients so that entries in the BATCH reports and message list can be put into correct
chronological order.
