Hi

Time synchronization using NTP (network time protocole)

And for extra study over time synch

Hope this helps.

 Hi

Mn6453shabad

We found that time syncronization while another controller is CNCP master and SNTP slave (here ABB800M is SNTP slave and CNCP master and GPS is SNTP master) ;we should configure siemense S7400FH as CNCP slave; and ES to be configured as client;if it is right,so here question is ,in addition to the configuration on CP and CPU in simatic manager ,is needed another configuration or do write something such a application? Or this syncronization perform automaticlly after mentioned configuration.

Regard

 Cncp is the abb proprietery protocole and as i know it is not supported by siemens products?

Why dont you define simatic s7-400fh as sntp slave too?sntp protocole can also use with ip routers.

S7-400 as ntp client does n't need any user programming or further configuration than mentioned in earlier post.

LNSTP manual

"The PROFINET CPUs of the SIMATIC S7-300, S7-400, WinAC RTX, S7-1200, S7-1500 series and ET 200SP CPUs can be configured as NTP clients for time synchronization as a standard feature. With regard to the firmware, the S7 CPUs are generally not designated as NTP servers."

 And

LSNTP

The PROFINET CPUs of the automation systems SIMATIC S7-1200/1500 and S7-300/400 and WinAC RTX can only be configured as NTP clients for time synchronization. With this library you can turn a SIMATIC S7 CPU into an SNTP server and thus realize a simple time synchronization of automation cells

 And for es and os there are different ways according to dimatic wincc, abb, or windows native time synchronization(win32time) service.

My means is S7400FH to be SNTP client because ABB controller is SNTP master ,so i think it is leading to conflict if two controller from different manufacture to be SNTP master.

Dear Mn6453shabad 

Im a little confused. Is n't the ac800m sntp slave according to your earlier post?

What's your sntp master? What's yor gps module and how is connected to yor network?

Please give a network architecture scheme of your system.

Regards

Let me ask in another way,in accordance to siemence document ,s7400FH shall be syncronize as SNTP client that act as a node on ABB network in ther form of get clock from ABBserver.but i dont know how to add CP card as ABB node because i add ABB expansion software on relevant node so add this case on ES is simple ;not on CP.

 You must consider your network architecture and vendor instructions for the best time synhronization Plan.

whats your sntp server in abb network? Which module get clock from gps reciever? ( like siemens siclock tc400)?

It can broadcasts or multicasts time frames toward siemens network too.

Hello

SNTP server is GPS clock /time synchronization system that get time reference frim GPS antenna from Hopf company.
