AC700F Time Server
Hi,
For my future project ı am trying to choose a platform which correspond my customer needs.
-> It has to support Modbus TCP
-> It has to synchronize its time from a remote time server(like NTP)
Freelance 2013 with AC700f has built-in Modbus TCP
Does AC700F has capability of synchronizing with remote time server from network other than my control network?

Greetings,
CPU time synchronizing is not important for you at all, because your customer wants to see alarms and event on exact time, and alarms/events are triggered on SCADA not CPU.So at this situation your OS or Gateway Server has to sync time via external time server. And Freelance 9.2, Freelance 2013 support it.
For this purpose, the “Ext. Timer Server” function must be activated in the resource configuration (select > Operator station or Gateway in Project tree > Project > Header). By specifying the IP address, up to three stations can be time-synchronized by a resource.
