    NETID       :T_AmsNetId;
    START       :BOOL;
    TIMESTR     :TIMESTRUCT;
    TMOUT       :TIME := DEFAULT_ADS_TIMEOUT;
END_VAR

NETID: It is possible here to provide the AmsNetId of the TwinCAT computer on which the local Windows system time is to be set. If it is to be run on the local computer, an empty string can be entered.

START: The function block is activated by a positive edge at this input.

TIMESTR: Structure with the new local Windows system time.

TMOUT: States the length of the timeout that may not be exceeded by execution of the ADS command.
