Hi All,
How can I configure the PLC to be a "Synchronized Time Slave" ?
When I enable Time sync, it sets the PLC as the master by default. Didn't find any other option in the menu.
Or am I missing some information here?
Thanks for the help.
What do you want to sync it with? Is there another PLC in the network? Are you trying to set up a network based time sync?
Need to know those things to get up to speed here.
Surprise! You can't.I have configured a NTP Server on one of the computers on the network. I wish to point the plc to that computer for the timing.
You can get the current version of the Logix 5000 Clock Update Tool from Rockwell, in Knowledgebase Document #44321 (Access Level: Everyone).
If you're up for the latest and greatest method, there's a newer Logix 5000 Clock Sync Service you can try. It was released in conjunction with Studio 5000 v24, and there is an overview document on the RA Knowledgebase, Document #641235 (Access Level: Everyone).
Set the priority of the server to be a lower number (higher priority) than that of the PLC. Change it at either end.
