how to configure the PK controller to synchronize one NPT server

For some reason related to regional safety law, I need to configure the pk controller to synchronize the NPT server.  

Now, I have one NPT server configured to be synchronized by the APPS workstation of one  DeltaV system.  we want to configure the PK controller to synchronize the NPT server too, how can I do this task? thanks.

  Since you have AAP Station, you must have a DeltaV system and not PK standalone.
  
  You have to configure time synchronization for the ProPlus which will identify the time source for the controller nodes. If you have a time server on the L3 layer, you must sync a App station and/or the ProPlus as primary and secondary servers. These two servers will then sync the controllers and othe work stations. You will these nodes identified and the time servers in diagnostics for the PK.
  
  If your requirement is to have the PK controllers sync directly with a time server, the time server must be connected directly to the DeltaV ACN and is assigned an IP Address from the reserved addresses. See BOL. This is defined in the same place via DeltaV explorer.
  
  The Appstation would get it’s time from this same server on the DeltaV network.
