Time synchronization
Time synchronization
You can synchronize the time and date of the devices in the network. This is important,
amongst other things, for ensuring that diagnostics and reports have synchronized and
correct time stamps.
You can configure the time synchronization in the main window of the Safety Designer
or in the device window.
Information on the functionality and basic operation of the software and on the settings
in the main window can be found in the operating instructions of the Safety Designer
(part number 8018178).

Reading configuration
Overview
At the left, you see the values configured in the project for the device. If the device is
connected, you see the values saved in the device at the right.
If the values in the project and the values in the device differ, you can read the values
out from the device and adopt them in the project.

Complementary information
Configuration:
•
Name
If a number of devices are used in an application or in a project, a unique device
name helps to tell the individual devices apart.
•
Checksums
A checksum is used as a unique identification for a configuration. Using the
checksum, it is possible to work out whether a setup was changed or whether two
devices have the same configuration.
The checksum of the configuration in the project may not match the checksum
in the device, for example if a field geometry has been modified, but not yet
transmitted to the device.
