• Each product supports a 1588 transparent clock for CIP motion and
CIP Sync applications.
CIP Sync technology can be used in Logix control systems to
s
ynchronize clocks across a system operating on the EtherNet/IP
network. This technology supports highly distributed applications that
require such functions as timestamping, sequence of events recording,
distributed motion control, and increased control coordination.
For example, with CIP Sync technology, a single ControlLogix
cont
roller can establish a master time and then, using ControlLogix
Ethernet modules, propogate that time to all necessary devices on the
network.
For more information on how to use CIP Synch technology, see the
Integrated Architecture and CIP Sync Co
nfiguration Application

• Each of the products described on
page 58 has 2 ports to connect to a
linear or DLR network in a single subnet. You cannot use these ports as
