Time syncronization

Hello Dears,
We have ABB800xA version6 that time and date had been synctonized with GPS, and some packages are integrated with siemense S7400FH .We want to know how to syncron time and date siemense with ABB.
Regards.

I don't know the detailed information of your system. Supposed that you use AC800M controllers, in this situation, the following is the recommended time synchronization architecture:

So I suggest you can use the SNTP as the protocol to synchronize with Siemense S7400FH.

We found that time syncronization while another controller is CNCP master and SNTP slave (here ABB800M is SNTP slave and CNCP master and GPS is SNTP master) ;we should configure siemense S7400FH as CNCP slave; and ES to be configured as client;if it is right,so here question is ,in addition to the configuration on CP and CPU in simatic manager ,is needed another configuration or do write something such a application? Or this syncronization perform automaticlly after mentioned configuration.

CNCP is an ABB proprietary master-slave clock synchronization protocol for the
Control Network.
The S7400FH can not be acted as CNCP slave, it can only the SNTP client in this case. ES as one node in 800xA system, it can acted as AfwTime client.
About how to use the timestamp, it's module, application and communication protocol dependent.

Ok thanks.if i right understand we must configure S7400FH as SNTP client on control network .but as you know siemence CPU communicate with ES along with CP card and used TCP/IP protocol,that has IP address different with ControlNetwork but so we shall be change class IP address of CP card to able to connect SNTP server ;but IP 's ES shall be changed to able connect to CPU and this is means the ES station put on Control Network that is unreasonable.

Is there only one network adapter installed on ES? If the actual situation is like that, adding a network adapter for ES should be the better way. Also the other alternative one is to use double IP for one network adapter for ES. But the first way should be recommended.

Here ,ES's adapter is 1613 interface with redundant configuration.so ES confige with doubke ip or will add another network adapter to connect as node on Client Server network that acting as Afw Time Client.hence S7400FH how to connect in order to time stamp?or adjust cpu time with ES time?
Another question deos ES node to specific ABB software module in order to configure as Afw Time Client?
