Synchronization
The setting parameters for the real-time clock with external time synchronization are set via local
HMI or PCM600. The path for Time Synchronization parameters on local HMI is Main menu/
Configuration/Time/Synchronization. The parameters are categorized as Time Synchronization
(TIMESYNCHGEN) and IRIG-B settings (IRIG-B:1) in case that IRIG-B is used as the external time
synchronization source.
TimeSynch
When the source of the time synchronization is selected on the local HMI, the parameter is called
TimeSynch . The time synchronization source can also be set from PCM600. The setting
alternatives are:

The function input to be used for minute-pulse synchronization is called BININPUT. For a
description of the BININPUT settings, see the
The system time can be set manually, either via the local HMI or via any of the communication
ports. The time synchronization fine tunes the clock (seconds and milliseconds).
