iControl - click the
Time
button
Time (UTC)
The data boxes in this section display the
time and date currently held in the card.
Enter new values in these boxes to
change the current setting. If an
automatic update via NTP is not enabled,
the clock will continue to run using an on-
board reference, but precision is not
guaranteed.
NTP IP address
Click the
Enable NTP
box to use an NTP
(Network Time Protocol)
source. Enter up
to three IP addresses of NTP servers. The
CPU-ETH2 card will use the first source of
valid time it finds in this list.
Using the menu
You can enter the current time and date, and activate the NTP time sourcing through the
TIME OPTIONS menu item.
Note that the NPT REFRESH item, setting the interval at which the local clock is refreshed
from the NTP server, is ONLY available from the menu, and does not appear on the
iControl interface
.
Alarms
The CPU-ETH2 controller generates alarms for the frame in which it is installed when error
conditions are detected. These alarms are used to set the card-front Status LED and the
status icon in the top left of the iControl window.
The alarms are reported to the iControl network, and can be reported locally on the frame’s
GPI port.
