Configure Time Synchronization
In order for industrial data time-stamping and Field Agent diagnostic information to
operate reliably, it is important for the Field Agent to have an accurate time source.
The Field Agent has two methods of synchronizing time
–
either by using a Network
Time Protocol (NTP) server or by pulling time from a web page hosted by an HTTPS
web server with its own reliable time source. Either method can be configured in the
Web Console under
Technician Console, Time Sync Configuration
.
