● SIMATIC time
If you use the SIMATIC time transmitter, you do not need to make any further settings.
● Manual
Here, an input field opens for you to enter the current time. The time is quartz controlled
and thus always exact. When you switch off or reset the device, this information is lost
and must be entered again.
Time zone offset
You can enter a time zone correction for the SNTP protocols here.
Time server
Here, you can enter the Internet address of the server with which the system time will be
synchronized. The number of the UDP port being used can also be entered. As default, the
SNTP protocol uses UDP port 123.
Init poll interval
Here, you can enter the interval at which the IE Switch X200 repeats the initial poll for the
system time if this was not successful the first time.
Poll interval
Once the system time has been adopted the first time from the time server, it is updated
cyclically with renewed polls to the time server. Here, you specify how often the updates take
place.
