Chapter 4 Configure a Project for Integrated Motion on the EtherNet/IP Network
Set Time Synchronization
This technology supports highly distributed applications that require time
stamping, sequence of events recording, distributed motion control, and
increased control coordination. All controllers and communication modules
must have time synchronization that is enabled for applications that use
Integrated Motion on the EtherNet/IP network.
Time synchronization in the Logix system is called CIP Sync. CIP Sync provides
a mechanism to synchronize clocks between controllers, I/O, and other devices
that are connected over CIP networks and the ControlLogix or CompactLogix
backplane. The device with the best clock becomes the Grandmaster time source
for your system.

P1 and P2 = Priorities Priorities are automatically assigned based on their clock quality, which is determined by the Best Clock Algorithm. In this example, P2=1 is
the best quality so it becomes the Grandmaster. If the P2=1 device loses clock quality for some reason, then P2=2 would become the
Grandmaster for the system.
