Implementation of (S)NTP client and (S)NTP server is based on protocol version 4.
For (S)NTP server configuration add a new object “SNTP Server” under of the available “Ethernet interfaces (ETH1-ETHn)”.
For a PLC only one instance of an (S)NTP server is possible.

The following parameters are available:
Not all parameters are shown in the user interface.

But there is the possibility to edit them in the generic parameter editor.
