Special workflows 6 Time synchronization 6 Special workflows 6.1 Time synchronization Time synchronization has three responsibilities: ● The device accepting the Time synchronization request. ● The device acting as a Time master. ● Time synchronization using Network Time Protocol (NTP). Prerequisite: Project has Time master enabled in ABT Site. NOTE: Once Time synchronization is started, it by default sends the UTC Time synchronization and Time synchronization to the recipients.
6 Special workflows Time synchronization The local time is updated, and this change displays in the Local time property of the device object. UTC Time synchronization UTC Time synchronization is used by a Time master to notify one or more remote devices of the correct Universal Time Coordinated (UTC) so that devices can synchronize their internal clocks with one another, and the intended date and time value is sent as part of the service request.
