Time Server Configuration - Siemens SIMATIC HMI KP300 Basic mono PN Operating Instructions Manual

5.1.5

Time server configuration

The HMI device has an unbuffered realtime clock. The realtime clock is set either using the
configuration or using a time server.
To fetch the time-of-day of the HMI device from a time server, specify up to four different
time servers. The time-of-day is synchronized via the "Network Time Protocol" (NTP). Also
specify the update cycle of the time-of-day and, if necessary, a time shift. Update cycle and
time shift are valid for all configured time servers.
You can test the availability of each time server separately.
