We have observed a delay of 7 minutes (7 minutes in advance) even if the correct date time was set 8 month ago. Thank you Regards François

Thank you Regards François Hi, you can use DCF77 as time signal, it is available ~2000 km around Frankfurth am Main in Germany. To receive this signal Siemens offers SICLOCKproducts wich you can implement in you plant. For forther dertails on time synchronisation plase have a look at following documents (for PCS 7 6.1): Chapter 7.8.5: http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/de/21407752/0/en Chapter 11: http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/de/21406982/0/en
