SIMATIC S7-400 / S7-400H / S7-400F /FH: S7 400 Central processing unit Duration

DURING POWER FAILURE CPU TAKES OLD TIME . AFTER THAT I UPDATE FROM PG TIME FROM CPU PROPERTIES BY THAT I LOST MANY PRINT AND DATA TRANSFER SHIFT WISE.
CAN I GET IT THAT AFTER EVERY RASTART AUTOMATICALLY TAKES TIME FROM PG TIME.

Regarding CPU Time Synchronization after Power Failure

It appears your CPU is not automatically synchronizing time after a power failure, leading to data loss during shift changes after manual synchronization via PG time. This is a known issue with potential causes relating to the hardware clock and synchronization settings.

Here's a breakdown and potential solutions:

  • Hardware Clock Battery: A weak battery on the CPU's hardware clock can cause it to drift significantly during power outages. Replacing the battery is often the first step.
  • Time Synchronization Settings: Ensure your CPU is configured to synchronize time automatically via a network time protocol (NTP) server or using the PG time, if appropriate for your setup. Check the CPU properties in your TIA Portal project.
  • Automatic Time Update: Unfortunately, there isn't a direct setting to *force* automatic time update from PG time on every restart. However, proper NTP configuration or periodic synchronization tasks can mitigate this.

Recommendation:

I strongly recommend consulting the following SiePortal FAQ for detailed troubleshooting steps and configuration guidance:

CPU time drift after power failure

If the issue persists after checking these points, please open a support request via Siemens Support, providing your CPU model and TIA Portal version for specific assistance.
