Configure the Time Server

To configure the Time Server, select Administrative Settings

> Server

Management Server

> Time Settings. Doing so helps makes sure that

files you save to the web server module have accurate date and time
stamps. You can also enable the local controller to get its time and
date from the web server module.

Select This Field

If You Want To

SNTP Time Server

Use the time from the Network Time Protocol (NTP).

Specify the IP address or host name of an SNTP server on the network. The web server
uses port 123 for this service. The IP address you enter persists over power cycles.

Query Controller Clock

Use the time from the local Logix controller (Wall Clock Time).

Specify the slot number of the controller. The web server module queries the Wall Clock
Time of the controller for both time and date. At subsequent power ups, the web server
module queries the controller.

Manual Time Entry

Manually set the time and date.

Manual settings do not persist over power cycles.

Local Time Offsets

Select the appropriate time zone.

This selection is only available when you select SNTP time server as your “Get Time
Method.”

Update Time at Constant Interval

Select how often the web server module updates its date and time.

Set Controller Date/Time

Use the date and time in the web server module to set the date and time in the local
controller.

You must also specify the slot number of the local controller.

Important: This feature provides accurate time synchronization to within one second.
