But maybe this manual will be helpfull: SIMATIC S7 S7-1200 Programmable controller There I found information about synchronisation with NTP mode Good luck Sabine

I'm really not good in IT and networking stuff, but is it necessary to do some kind of routing for the external NTP (e.g. nist1-ny.ustiming.org / 64.90.182.55 )server or is there another solution? Thanks a lot marwan
