Can a AB 5380 use a NTP server?

Can a AB 5380 use a NTP server directly to keep time synced?


I have found references to NTP in the manual but nothing seems to should how to set up the PLC to use it.

Search knowledge base for SNTP AOI.

Which manual? I see references to PTP but not to NTP.

Not sure if there is a direct way of fetching from an NTP on a PLC, but there is a time sync tool rockwell makes, which you can run on a server to push it's local time to the PLC.

If the local time is synced, all time get's synced.

- As Contr_conn mentioned, there's the NTP AOI, which I don't have experience with. (KB QA49644)

- Some industrial switches can take NTP and provide PTP.

- Use a 1756-TIME module

I can't find QA49644. Ugh Rockwell's website is garbage.

Dunno why the Document ID and the URL are different. There was a migration from "old KB Answer Numbers" to new IDs a few months ago.

Rockwell changed the Knowledgeable search engine to a AI based search engine a couple of months ago in an effort to improve the search. Text searches work better than answer numbers now. Also as you input text into the search bar you will see suggested searches below the search bar. For example I put NTP AOI in the search and QA49644 was the top result.
