System time synchronization for CX2020

I would like to know how to correctly synchronize system time at CX2020 PLC. If I set the time server in Windows time option and I press the update button the time is synchronized, but automatic synchronization after some time period does not work.

I also found time client settings instructions in OES help file, but there are two problems there. Mentioned batch files for start time client (SetTimeClientParam.bat, ReSyncTime.bat ) are not present at target system and if I manually configure w32tm service, it does not run after reboot.

In object browser I see Nexeed Time Client also exist, but I do not know if I can use it instead of Windows solution.

Update: I tried to install TimeClient Addon and it works fine.

So, the question is, how to correctly sync time for CX2020?

As you have noticed, we support two different ways of time synchronization. You can choose which one suits your needs best.

The batch files mentioned in the time synchronization guideline are available as part of the bundle download (or on the BOSCH internal Nexeed network share) under ControlPlus\Common\TimeSynchronization\V1.0
