Time Behavior

How to set system time on Edge device

In order to operate Edge device properly, system time needs to be set. SINUMERIK Edge behaves as follows for system time setting:

1. System time is set automatically under following conditions:
   • the networking of Edge device is configured using a DHCP server.
   • the DHCP server provides a NTP Server and NTP Server is accessible from Edge device
2. If NTP Server is explicitly configured during the phase of onboarding, then it will be used by Edge device. Please refer to Onboarding chapter for further details.
   • It is assumed that the configured NTP Server is not blocked by corporate firewall.
3. If no time server is explicitly configured, then default global NTP Servers are used.
   • It is assumed that the global NTP-Servers are not blocked by corporate firewall.
4. If no NTP Server is available or they are not accessible, then system time must be set manually via BIOS.
