Hello everyone! Does anyone know if M172P controllers or the M172SIG IoT interface can obtain time and date from an Internet NTP server?
I found a few related topics (for example: https://community.se.com/t5/HVAC-and-Pumping-Forum/M172-Local-timezone/td-p/433043), but they don't answer my question.
It's really hard to find reliable information in any online Schneider Electric material. I know older M172P controllers didn't have an SNTP feature. But now, looking at the newest catalog version, it shows M172 now supports.
On the M172SIG interface page it also seems to list NTP.
However, I couldn't find whether they can read the time/status from any NTP server on the Internet, or if they only sync from a local IP. In other words: if the device is connected to the Internet via Ethernet, will it get date/time from an external NTP server, or is it limited to local NTP sources?
Thx in advance!!

Hi,
Secure Interface can obtain time from a NTP server.
To active/deactive you can use the WEBAPP inside the Secure Interface.
Please see hardware User guide
