Overview
One of the main features of the RTU is to manage events with time stamping. Time stamping requires effective time synchronization.
Behavior
The behavior of the clock synchronization command is determined by the role of the BMENOR2200H module:
Role(s) |
Description |
|---|---|
server |
When acting as a server, the BMENOR2200H module can synchronize its clock with a client station (SCADA). When you update the clock to the CPU, the module receives the clock synchronization command and it updates its internal clock, and posts the new value to the CPU. This maintains a consistent time on the local rack. |
client |
When acting as a client, the BMENOR2200H module sends clock synchronization commands to connected servers. As with the case above, the clock is initialized from the CPU when it starts up. |
Configuration
The SNTP client runs only when you configure the service in the DTM. To configure the SNTP service, refer to the clock synchronization instructions.
