SNTP
SNTP feature
The Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) is a common procedure to synchronize clocks in
computer systems via packaged based communication networks. In this manner, the
easYgen-XT can be configured as a SNTP client. The easYgen-XT is also usable as a SNTP
server within the local area network by its own IP address.
The SNTP functionality can be configured for three modes:
• External SNTP mode
•
The easYgen-XT requests time and date information from an external SNTP server,
marked with an own IP address.
• Load sharing mode
•
The easYgen-XT requests time and date information from the easYgen with the
smallest device number, if the load sharing over Ethernet is enabled.
• Internal clock mode
•
The SNTP client mechanism is disabled. The own real time clock determines clock
and date.
HEX values
The addresses and subnet masks are known as hex values but are displayed in HMI and
ToolKit as decimal values.
