3.2 PTP (IEEE 1588)

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.
For devices without a real-time (RT) module (timestamp unit):
enable/disable the PTP function in the PTP dialog.
select the PTP mode in the PTP dialog.
– Select v1-simple-mode if the reference clock uses PTP version 1.
– Select v2-simple-mode if the reference clock uses PTP version 2.
