5.10 Time synchronization

5.10 Time synchronization
Time is the basis of all information.
For this reason, 7KN Powercenter 3000 offers various possibilities to synchronize time or set
the respective time zone.
• Setup takes place via the web user interface: "Settings → General → Date / time".
• The time can also be set with powerconfig ≥ V3.14 via the device menu.
• Requesting time via SNTP with up to 3 different NTP servers.
5.10.1

Time synchronization of the connected devices

The recording of processes over time is an important basis for digitalization. For this reason,
the 7KN Powercenter 3000 synchronizes the date and time of day.
To do this, SNTP mode must be selected for the date/time in powerconfig on the SENTRON
devices and 7KN Powercenter 3000 configured as the time source.
The following option exist:
• Synchronization of date/time of day by device request
• Synchronization of date/time of day by SNTP server broadcast

Saving and further processing setup

7KN Powercenter 3000 is typically configured via powerconfig (see First commissioning
(Page 45)).
The need to make (minor) changes locally can arise. This can be done via the web user
interface under "Settings".
To archive, document, and further use these changes, the setup can be exported.
See "Settings → Actions → Project → Export project".
This project can be further processed with powerconfig, e.g. printed out.
