Parameter settings for time synchronization
You can set the following options for the Synchronization cycle parameter:
● No synchronization:
There is no time synchronization on the relevant network.
● Hour scheme:
The number of hours between synchronization activities can be set in the "Hour scheme"
drop-down list box.
– Start time:
If the cycle for time synchronization is longer than 1 hour, you can set a start time for
time synchronization in the "Start time" drop-down list box.
● Minute scheme:
The number of minutes between synchronization activities can be set in the "Minute
scheme" drop-down list box.
● Second scheme:
The number of seconds between synchronization activities can be set in the "Second
scheme" drop-down list box.
● Time of day:
Synchronization takes place once a day. Set the time of day for the synchronization in the
"Time of day" drop-down list box (for example 01:00).
● Synchronization master (only for Ethernet port)
Here, you can decide whether the TIM module adopts the master role for time
synchronization (setting "yes") or not (setting "no"). If "no" is set, the TIM is a time slave.
You will find more information on setting the time master or slave in the explanations
above.
