5.8 Configuring time synchronization on an AS
5.8.1 How to set time synchronization on an AS for SIMATIC mode
Requirements
● An automation system with a CP 443-1, CP 443-5 Extended that is capable of time
synchronization must be used.
● A CPU capable of time synchronization is used for the SIMATIC mode.
● An external time sender must be the time master.
Setting the CPU
To configure time synchronization for the CPU, proceed as follows:
1. Open the project in SIMATIC Manager.
2. Select the station that will be synchronized.
3. Open the configuration of the hardware.
4. Select the CPU, followed by Edit > Object properties.
The "Properties - CPU..." dialog box opens.
