Time

4.2 PTP configuration

Precise time management is required for running time-critical applications via
a LAN.
The IEEE 1588 standard with the Precision Time Protocol (PTP) describes a
procedure that assumes one clock is the most accurate and thus enables
precise synchronization of all clocks in an LAN.
IEEE 1588/PTP function
In this frame you switch the PTP on/off.

4.2.1 PTP Global (MS20/MS30, Power MICE)

This dialog offers you the option of making basic settings for the Precision
Time Protocol.
IEEE 1588/PTP function
In this frame you switch the PTP on/off.
Configuration IEEE 1588/PTP
Clock Mode: Mode of the local clock.
The options are:
– ptp-mode-boundary-clock,
– ptp-mode-simple-ptp (without delay correction or specification of
best clock). Select this mode if the device does not have a timestamp unit
(RT module).
Sync Interval: period for transmitting synchronization messages,
specified in seconds. You apply the changes with "Reinitialize".
SyncLowerBound: Bottom PTP synchronization threshold value, speci-
fied in nanoseconds. If the sum of (reference time - local time) is lower
than the value of the bottom PTP synchronization threshold, then the local
clock is deemed as synchronous with the reference clock.
