When to use this block?
This block can use to setup and outputs the date/time for the given timezone. The NTP server url and the local timezone in UTC should be specified in the block.
How does this block work?
To update the time using the given NTP server, a trigger signal (a rising edge signal) should be input to the trigger port of the SNTP block. Once it triggered the time will be updated and outputs the date/time. Even though the block is not triggered, it outputs the current system date/time of the SIMCOM 7600.
