Automatically Setting the Clock

Automatically Synchronizing the Clocks on Multiple Do-more Controllers

TimeSync allows Do-more controllers on a local network to automatically synchronize their internal real-time clocks. A typical network of Do-more controllers will have one configured as a TimeSync Server, one or more controllers configured as TimeSync Alternates, and the remaining controllers configured as TimeSync Clients.

Automatically Setting the Date and Time with an SNTP Client

One alternative to manually setting the date and time on Ethernet-equipped Do-more controllers is to configure these controllers to retrieve the clock and calendar information from a Time Server with the NETTIME - SNTP Client instruction.
