2.5 Subscribing to the time master
The Desigo Control Point device time can be set or obtained from a time master. Complete this procedure to
identify a time master for the Desigo Control Point device.
If a time master is not being used, see the
Settings
section of the
Desigo Touch Panel Clients Commissioning
Manual
(A6V11604303) to set the device time.
Note
The Desigo Control Point device cannot be a time master.
1. Select > Favorite commissioning > [operating and monitoring device].
2. Click to display all properties.
3. Select Time master reference, enter the device instance number of the time master and click OK.
A time synchronization subscription is issued to the device you identified as the Time master reference.
If the operating and monitoring device restarts, the current time is requested from the Time master
reference.
2.6 Time synchronization of the time master
This procedure uses the local time of the Desigo Control Point device to synchronize the time of all devices in
the Assigned devices list. This time synchronization command is most often used in small systems where there
is no other time master.
1. If necessary, select > Favorite commissioning > [operating and monitoring device] and click to
display all properties.
2. Click Synchronize to issue a one-time Time synchronization command to all devices in the Assigned
devices list.
Any time masters in the Assigned devices list receive the current local time from the operating and
monitoring device.
Possible next step: Configuring for kiosk graphics on a touch panel.
