SNTP Server
This section describes the configurations for using SNTP server.
Applications
The Web server CPU module can obtain the current time from an SNTP server in the network. The obtained time is stored
in the special data registers and can be used to adjust the clock cartridge. When the clock cartridge is not installed,
calendar/clock data obtained from SNTP server can be used as a simple clock.
Description of Functions
When the Web server CPU module is powered on, the current time (GMT) is obtained from the SNTP sever and adjusted
according to the time zone. The adjusted time is stored in the special data registers D8414 through D8420. After the
current time is obtained from the SNTP server, the calendar/clock stored in D8414 through D8420 are updated with an
internal timer of the Web server CPU module. The Web server CPU module obtains the current time from the SNTP
server and adjust the current time every 10 minutes.
